A repeat-offender broke into 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Valve Corporation's Bellevue headquarters, located just east of Seattle, and The burglar, 32-year-old Shawn Shaputis, currently has six warrants – and if ꦯhe misses his scheduled arraignment hearing – he'll receive yet another.
This is🧸n't Shaputis' only crime either, as he l in a stolen FedEx truck in July of last year. The carjacker noticed the truck was unattended and had keys in the ignition, so he hopped in an barreled away with it. The truck had its back door open, so the chase caused various packages to slide out onto the highway during the action. It end𒈔ed with the truck surrounded and Shaputis cooperating with police, though his motive was unclear.
The FedEx stunt in July wasn't Shaputis' first major crime either, as only a month prior to the carjacking, he admitted to burgl𒐪arizing Valve's headquarters. He pulled off🌠 the heist by filling large recycling bins up with computers and rolling them out the door – gaining entry over four or five times total. But how did he get in?
Supposedly, he gained access to the Lincoln Square South building through a restaurant, where Valve is headquartered (floors 11-19), and entered t🐷hrough a "non-functional" door from a stairway. From there he loaded up the bin with whatever he could find that looked valuable – video games, Asus lap🦋tops, various consoles – and wheeled away with the goods unnoticed. The video evidence of Shaputis pawning some of Valve's stolen games to GameStop was pivotal in his eventual arrest.
Unfortunately for Valve's CEO Gabe Newell, some electronic equipm♓ent and games weren't the only thing Shaputis🐻 took; He also stole a replica mini-gun that Newell famously posed with on the roof the very building that was burglarized.
Although the burglary is unfortunate, the culprit was caught a week after the crimes back in 2018 and is now finally being held accountable for his actions. As to whether or not Shaputis was also searching for confirmation of Portal 3, Team Fortress 3, or Half-Life 3 at the time of the break-in – it remains undetermined.
