Among them were 48 PS4 and Xbox One games. Which he sold to GameStop for $335.

Last month, Bellevue Police charged 32 year-old Shawn Shaputis with a succession of robberies in 2018, including repeatedly breaking into the headquarters of Valve and stealing a bunch of games, computers and accessories.


As Polygon report, he was charged with one count of burglary and one count of trafficking of stolen property related to the GameStop sale many times.

Police say he gained access to Valve HQ through a “non-functioning stairwell door”, and was able to steal the games and equipment from the 11th floor of the building, one of nine occupied by the company.

He scooped everything he stole into a large trash can and walked straight out the building. In addition to the console games Shaputis is accused of stealing laptops, Nintendo Switch consoles, Steam machine units and, bizarrely, the minigun Gabe Newell used in a photoshoot for a Forbes magazine feature back in 2011.

Shaputis is also wanted on a number of other charges, including stealing a FedEx truck in 2018 and leading police on a high-speed chase.

I hope he gets punish for a longer amount of time for stealing so many games and computers.

I'm surprise that he is able to get out of jail so soon since in 2018 he stote a Fedex van which he used in a high speed police chase which can end up hurting or killing someone if he crashed the van.

It's actually kind of embarrassing for them to have so many robberies.

It's crazy a company the size of Valve does not have a better security plan, and more security gaurds to prevent robbery, vandalism and more importantly protect workers and visitors from a violent criminal who may want to hurt workers at Valve.
