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.â€™ 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 do not believe that at all. The internet lies a bunch. If it did happen either the date must have messed up and/or the burglers must have been dumb.
