A Washington man has been charged with breaking into Valve and carting $40,000 USD worth of stolen games and equipment away in a wheelie bin.
As reported by Washington news station KIRO 7, 32-year-old Shawn Shaputis broke into Valve’s offices in Lincoln Square’s south tower – a building which, as noted by PC Gamer, Valve shares with the likes of Epic Games, The Pokémon Company, Samsung, and Unity – four or five times during the burglary spree in 2018.
Each time, according to police, Shaputis would wheel a recycling bin into the building’s stairwell, fill it with games and equipment, then wheel it back out to his car.
