from the crime-doesn't-pay dept. HellSpam writes "Some robbers tried to burglarize a poor old lady and her 3 grandsons. Her grandsons happened to be playing Grand Theft Auto:San Andreas, and the sounds of the police from the game scared them away! From the article: "The police in the game were saying, 'Stop, we have you surrounded. This is the police.’ The burglar, unknowingly, thought this was the actual police and panicked ... being apprehended by Playstation." Now, no more saying games are bad for you..."
[Note that there are a few things wrong here, though. 1) San Andreas wasn't out in March, and 2) Most robbers like to do things alone, not w/ people in the house.]

I realized the moment I fell into the fissure that the book would not be destroyed as I had planned.
