Xbox 360 Scalpers Robbed!

Five guys bought new Xbox 360s and immediately tried to scalp them to other consumers still waiting in line!

When they had no takers, they drove to Mickey-D's for some grub.

There, the lone scalper was held up at gunpoint and four of their 360s were stolen. I'm not going to judge them, but this was a interesting turn of events, no?

"After waiting nine hours in line, a group of five men entered the store as soon as it opened and purchased their limit: one per customer. The men, whose names were not available Sunday, tried to make a little extra holiday cash after emerging from the store.

They offered to part with two of their Xboxes to folks in line -- for $600, police spokesman Paul Honeman said. No one bit. So the men, aged 14 to 24, piled into a van and drove to McDonald?s on Lake Otis Parkway near Abbott Road for breakfast. They left the 14-year-old in the car with the Xboxes.

Someone who also wanted an Xbox and who apparently saw them try to sell the consoles outside Best Buy followed them to McDonald?s, Honeman said.

A white, adult male who was described as bald and wearing blue jeans and a blue hooded sweatshirt walked up to the van, opened its sliding door and pulled a gun out, police said. The suspect ordered the teen to open the van?s rear door. Another suspect, described as a white male with dark curly hair, opened the door and took four of the Xboxes."
