Wireless Controller Helps Recover Stolen 360

A Missouri State student came back to his dorm to find his Xbox 360 stolen. Realising the controller still connected when turned it on, he set out to find the console. And he did.

This is probably the only set of circumstances in which this would work -- 360 stolen, thief lives 30 feet away, that's only gonna happen in a college dorm. But credit to Ryan Ketsenberg for using some critical thinking and old fashioned sleuthing to get his stuff back and bust a thief.

I like to see how the controller just reach about 4-5 meter lenght :(

RJ20006367d ago

So did the guy who stole it not need a controller to play the damn 360? Dumb all the way around.

Nathan Drake6367d ago

The thief should've removed the battery pack

Capt CHAOS6367d ago

There is no battery pack in the xbox 360, it must keep the controller settings in flash ram or something.

jib6367d ago

no. he should have stolen the controllers as well if he didn't want to get caught. the owner could have easily just replaced it with new batteries

Capt CHAOS6367d ago

If someone had done that to me, I would have sued their ar$e and made sure they got a criminal record for it.. Either that or lost a couple of teeth. Don't put up with thieves like these..

No Way6367d ago

"Either that or lost a couple of teeth." Both. =) Blast their assss then drag him to your apartment, call the cops, and tell em it was self defense.. Just make sure no one is watching. ;)

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
