Xbox and game stolen from residence on Maple Street

By Howard B. Owens

Call of Duty II is one of the hottest video games on the market, and at least one person in Batavia has a copy that doesn't belong to him.

The game, a version known as Modern Warfare II, was stolen from a residence on Maple Street within the past week, along with an Xbox console and a controller.

The residents were out of town from the July 12 thru 18, returning home early this morning to find that their house had been broken into and the Xbox, controller and game all missing.

Nothing else was touched.

"Sometimes when a report like this appears in the press, a parent or somebody is alerted and they notice a child has something that they can't explain where or how they got it," Det. Pat Corona said.

To reach Corona with any tips, call (585) 345-6373.

The really sad thing is it'll most likely turn out to be someone these people invited into their home at some point, knew where the thing was kept and knew they'd be out of town. Going into someone's home without permission and stealing their property is reprehensible any time, but it's particularly low when you do it to someone who trusts you.
