An amateur burglar in South Korea used a hammer drill to break into a computer shop and stole three high-value GPUs worth $11,000. The thief was caught on camera taking only three GPUs, leaving other valuable components behind. The stolen cards included an ROG Astral RTX 5090, Aorus Master RTX 5090, and a Colorful iGame RTX 5080 Vulcan. The shop owner estimates the total loss could exceed $13,845 if RAM and storage were also taken. Police are actively searching for the thief, and the sentiment online suggests he may be caught soon due to the recorded footage and traceable GPU serial numbers.
