K-mart Employee Caught Stealing Gaming Hardware
K-mart employee Nathaniel Gustafon was busted for stealing goods in the amount of $7,218 USD. What started out as a few soda thefts, soon led to much more expensive items. Gustafon’s uncontrollable thievery progressed to DVDs, videogames, a camcorder, and gaming hardware.
Gustafon managed to get away with stealing the goods by stuffing smaller items into large boxed goods that were legitimately purchased in order to elude suspicions. He was soon caught by K-mart security after getting a little too greedy. When attempting to smuggle an Xbox 360 hard drive, two Xbox 360 HD-DVD players, and two PlayStation 3s packed into a microwave box, the exit alarm sounded.
Gustafson is now facing up to three years imprisonment if convicted on the charge of felony theft. Apparently his K-mart salary just wasn’t cutting it.
