Magic Player Reclaims Stolen Cards With Sting Operation
A cache of stolen Magic: The Gathering cards worth roughly $8,000 USD has been recovered by police in Prince William County, VA. The cards belong to 23-year old Kemper Pogue, whose car was broken into to get at the collection.
After having nearly 300 Magic: The Gathering cards stolen, Kemper Pogue did what anyone in a similar situation would do: he went into his house, opened up a beer, and "promptly started screaming expletives," while waiting for the police to arrive, Pogue told The Washington Post.
Police report filed, Pogue then turned to the Internet to help track down his stolen collection. "I’d been collecting these cards since I was a kid," he said, and so he was determined to get them back. Pogue's first move was to alert members of his local Magic community of the theft via Facebook. After that, he called stores in the area that deal in Magic cards to be on the look-out.
