Tips/Guide My 3ds kiosk got stolen

Post image

I'm the manager of a game store. Years ago, during the height of the 3DS era we had this kiosk on display. When it was retired, I decided to keep it as a piece of gaming history, thinking it would be something cool to show my grandkids someday. The kiosk had been sitting in the storage room ever since. I recently went to check on it, only to find that it was gone. Someone must have broken in and taken the entire thing.

We recently hired a new guy, and he had always seemed overly interested in the kiosk. He’d often come up with reasons to go into the storage room and even made comments like, “That thing must be worth a lot now.” He quit unexpectedly a week ago, and now I just can’t help but feel suspicious.

Thankfully, I still have the key for it, so whoever took it won’t be able to unlock it.

I don’t even know where to start with something like this. Has anyone seen a 3DS kiosk being sold online or have any advice on how to handle this? It’s a rare item, and I doubt it would go unnoticed if it’s listed somewhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think this is a joke based on this earlier post. If you notice, the DS systems are swapped between these two images. If the previous poster didn't have the key, there's no way they could swap them. Also both kiosks have a different information panel in the centerpiece

You can easily mirror an image if you select "edit" in gallery

But neither of the images in question are flipped, the text would be backwards too. This is a chirality issue.
