RECOUPING THEIR LOSSES AFTER

A BREAK-IN HIT THE BUSINESS

EARLIER THIS MORNING. THE

THIEVES WENT AFTER POKEMON

CARDS WRL'S CARLY HAYNES LIVE

OUTSIDE THE STORE. NOW, CARLY,

THIS IS ACTUALLY A TREND THAT'S

HAPPENING NOT JUST NATIONWIDE,

BUT ALL OVER THE WORLD.

AND IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE,

THE THIEVES FIRST TRIED TO COME

IN THROUGH THE MAIN DOOR WITH A

HAMMER. AND WHEN THAT DIDN'T

WORK, THEY ULTIMATELY GOT

THROUGH.

>> THIS WINDOW NOW THE OWNERS

ARE TRYING TO WARN OTHER

BUSINESSES OF THIS TREND.

>> AND UNFAIR TRADE SELLING

POPULAR CARDS THAT THIS KERRY

BUSINESS BECAME A TARGET.

THIS WAS JUST A COMPLETE

DISARRAY HERE. ADAM REYNOLDS

SHOWS US HOW THE BREAK-IN

UNFOLDED AT TRIANGLE AREA

TRADING CARDS THIS MORNING.

WE'VE SPENT A YEAR.

>> A LONGTIME BUILDING IS UP.

AND FOR SOMEONE TO COME IN.

TAKE A LITTLE PIECE OF GOOD

TEAMS MADE OFF WITH ABOUT

$45,000 WORTH OF CARDS.

>> NOT JUST ANY CARDS PLAYING

CARDS. WELL, THESE ARE THE

JEWELS OF THE CARD WORLD,

RIGHT? I MEAN, POKEMON CARDS,

POKEMON CARDS AND MAGIC OUR

NOBODY'S BECAUSE IT'S THERE'S

NO WAY TO REALLY TRACE IT.

THE GAME'S GREW MORE POPULAR

DURING THE PANDEMIC. SO THE

CARDS GREW AND PRICE TOO.

POKEMON CARDS MORE THAN DOUBLED

THEIR VALUE OVER THE PAST YEAR.
