    THEFT ALERT! Multiple pinballs (about 10 pins and 10 vids) and arcade games stolen from Dallas warehouse. Info... Disgruntled employee and 2 "friends" who police suspect is "in the biz". Police asking for help identifying. Camera footage is being reviewed and a list of the games will be posted soon.. Some of the pins already found on Craig's list. More to come.

    If you happen to see a new game or video pop up on CL or some other online site today or later this week in the DFW Area, please take a moment and check back with this thread to see if it is on the list.

    Update on stolen equipment...

    Pinball Machines:

    Harley Davidson

    Please do not post any "tips" or "information" on the thread per the request of the local Police Department. They do not want to spook the criminals involved. Just send me a private message and I will forward it to the appropriate parties.

    Thanks.

    "Hey guys we just hit the motherload inside this abandoned warehouse, better yet the abandoned warehouse had WORKING ELECTRICITY so we were able to test the games and confirm most of them working before leaving."

    Just kidding. On topic: Hope he gets all of his games back soon, shouldn't be too difficult hopefully. I don't suppose he logged serial numbers?

    Sorry to hear this, Marcus. I don't know you personally but I have seen your posts on the forums and you seem like a stand-up guy. Why do bad things happen to good people?

    I have a friend who lives in Carrollton and I will ask him to keep an eye out.

    Best of luck on the return of your machines.

    I hope they get the bastards.

    Damn dude, hoping for the best. Only family I have down there would be completely useless unless you needed some intercessory prayer or something.

    Thanks for the thoughts. These are not my machines. These belong to local in the DFW Area. I am simply passing along the information for him. He belongs to our local FB group and needed the word spread.

    So I am spreading it for him.

    Xerico - see the new posting- machines found and he'd like references removed.

    Games have been found thanks to the power of social media.
