This is a head scratcher. Someone stole 180 Japanese PS3s from a warehouse -- in broad daylight! How anybody can manage that is beyond me.

According to the report, the PS3s were noticed to be missing at about 1:30 p.m. local time, having been "confirmed" at 9 a.m. (we figure that means that someone noted on some official paperwork that they were at the location).

Some time between 9 a.m. and 1:30 p.m., the thieves managed to move the PS3s out of the warehouse to lord knows where. The value of the take? Officials put it at about 9.5 million Yen (about $85,000 USD). Of course, that's retail. Double or triple that for actual street value.

The police suggest that the amount of movement around the warehouse provided a way for the thieves to go unnoticed. It's still amazing that that amount of consoles that were stolen from a working warehouse.
