Game consoles have become prime targets for burglars. There are several reasons for this growing interest:

  • 🚨 High resale value consoles and accessories are expensive and easy to resell.
  • 🚨 Scarcity : voler des éditions limitées ou des modèles en rupture de stock, c’est s’assurer un bon prix.
  • 🚨 Ease of flight consoles can be quickly slipped into a bag.
  • 🚨 Access to games and digital content : les jeux et les abonnements valent également de l’argent.
  • 🚨 Access to personal data Theft of sensitive information stored in the console (account information, bank details or registered cards).
