Their loot was not common.
The Rennes criminal court sentenced, Thursday February 1, three men who had taken part in the burglary in the middle of the night of a collector from Montfort-sur-Meu (Ille-et-Vilaine) to steal his “100,000 euros” of Pokémon cards.
"Where are the Charizard?"
» Mario P., the 21-year-old who had taken the lead in this “punitive expedition”, immediately shouted when he came to ring the victim's doorbell between 5 and 6 a.m. on June 16, 2023. A few months earlier, his accomplice Klevi M. had participated in a poker evening at the collector's house and the idea had come to them the day before, in a bar in Rennes, to go and steal these cards "which cost a little".

“We arrived, we knocked, he opened and he was hit in the face,” summarized Klevi M. at the criminal court.
This 32-year-old man had forced the victim “in his underwear” to “fill trash bags” with Pokémon cards, the fruit of “ten years of collecting,” recalled his lawyer.
