Tacoma一卡店遭皮卡撞门盗窃：约5万美元宝可梦与万智牌卡牌被盗、警方悬赏找车
美国华盛顿州 Tacoma 警方说，11月2日清晨5时许，一辆黑色皮卡撞开 6th Avenue 上 Northwest Sportscards 卡店的后部金属门，两名蒙面窃贼冲进店内，在数分钟内用收纳箱装走货架与库房里约5万美元的宝可梦和万智牌卡牌，随后驾车逃离。经营这家店近40年的店主 Don Knutsen 说，窃贼进出只用了几分钟。警方说，这是这家店四个月内第二次遭到皮卡撞门式的入室盗窃，目前正悬赏征集线索，截至11月7日还没有逮捕任何人。
店内监控显示，窃匪专挑整盒的卡牌下手。Knutsen 说，他们本是冲着宝可梦卡来的，结果也拿走了大量万智牌卡牌；许多被盗的都是没有序列号或识别标记的密封盒，卖出后很难追踪。他估算，被盗商品票面价值约5万美元，但要卖出十倍的货才能把损失赚回来。
Tacoma 警方公布了涉事车辆的特征，请公众协助辨认：那是一辆2006或2007款的 Dodge Ram 2500 或 3500 皮卡，Mega Cab 或加长驾驶室，驾驶员一侧尾灯破损、后保险杠有损伤，车上挂着一块被报失窃的华盛顿州车牌 C12766M。警方说，同一辆皮卡今年8月也曾被用于对这家店的另一起撞门盗窃，当时被盗的是数千美元的体育卡。
Knutsen 已自掏5,000美元悬赏征集能促成逮捕与起诉的线索，Tacoma-Pierce County 的 Crime Stoppers 另提供最高1,000美元的匿名悬赏，线索电话是 1-800-222-8477。这家店现已改雇夜间保安，一周七晚值守。

Pickup Rams Tacoma Card Shop in Smash-and-Grab: About $50,000 in Pokémon and Magic Cards Stolen, Police Seek the Truck
Police in Tacoma, Washington, said that shortly after 5 a.m. on Nov. 2, a black pickup truck rammed through the rear metal doors of Northwest Sportscards on 6th Avenue, and two masked thieves ran inside and, in just a few minutes, filled totes with about $50,000 worth of Pokémon and Magic: The Gathering cards from the shelves and storeroom before fleeing. Owner Don Knutsen, who has run the shop for nearly 40 years, said the burglars were in and out in a couple of minutes. Tacoma police said it was the second time in four months that a pickup had been used to break into the store the same way; no arrests had been reported as of Nov. 7, and police are asking the public for help.
Surveillance video shows the thieves going for sealed boxes of cards. Knutsen said they came looking for Pokémon but ended up taking a lot of Magic cards as well; many of the stolen cards were in sealed boxes with no serial numbers or identifying marks, which makes them far harder to trace. He put the face value of the stolen merchandise at about $50,000 but said he would have to sell ten times that amount to make up the loss.
Tacoma police released a description of the vehicle they want to find: a dark 2006 or 2007 Dodge Ram 2500 or 3500 with a Mega Cab or extended cab, a broken taillight on the driver's side and damage to the rear bumper, carrying a reported stolen Washington license plate, C12766M. Police said the same truck was used in an earlier ram-and-grab burglary at the store in August, when thousands of dollars in sports cards were taken.
Knutsen has put up a $5,000 reward of his own for information leading to an arrest and charges, and Crime Stoppers of Tacoma-Pierce County is offering up to $1,000 more for anonymous tips at 1-800-222-8477. The shop has since hired overnight security guards, seven nights a week.
