Thirty-two year-old Seiji Saihara was arrested for allegedly stealing a ten year-old boy's Nintendo 3DS XL. It wasn't just any 3DS XL, however. It was a limited edition Pokemon one.

According to Sankei News, the incident apparently happened this past February in the city of Nishinomiya, which is near Kobe, Japan. Saihara allegedly stole the Pokemon 3DS XL and five games from the basket of the boy's bicycle, while the kid was playing in the park.

Saihara then allegedly resold the limited edition handheld and the games at a used game shop. One of the child's friends spotted the handheld at said game shop, and it was possible to confirm that this was confirm it was his by checking it against the warranty.

Saihara has confessed to stealing the Pokemon 3DS XL and the games from the fifth grader.

The guy must have thought it was simple as stealing candy from a baby... I'm glad they caught him. He's a grown a$$ man for crying out loud.

I agree Demon, this is a true fact and those responsible should be punished severely.

human rights have made the courts soft and unable to punish them as needed.

Oh, I'd be one fiery little kid if I saw that person. I couldn't live without my 3DS. But, I'm also glad the kid got it back and that his friends recognized the device for him.

I could see if it was one kid stealing from another kid. Though this man is old enough to be the kid's father!The man must have been desperate for cash. At least the kid got his stuff back.

What a sorry excuse for a man stealing from a kid. Unfortunately I have a personal story that is very similar to this. My daughter's father bought her a 3DS right after they came out. As he's pretty absent in her life and doesn't give her many gifts, she treasured it more than just as a gaming device. Well, she went to spend a weekend with him and when she came back, was upset because her 3DS had gone missing while she was there and she couldn't find it before she had to come home. I was friends with his roommates who called to let me know he suddenly had a good bit of cash even though he wasn't working. Checked with a local pawn shop... he'd taken that baby's 3DS back while she was sleeping and had gone and sold it and all her games! Then let her think it was missing!
