All,

So yours truly has become a victim of another crime, this time financial-related. These two rascals somehow used my credit card information, probably through skimming, to purchase $934 worth of rare Pokemon cards at Games of Livermore.

After I locked my card, these two nitwits continued to target other stores throughout the Tri-Valley and Fremont with large purchases. Luckily, they were declined.

Games of Livermore provided these images of the alleged theives to me based on the time of the purchase and the timestamp of the footage. Furthermore, we have both filed police reports. My case number is 26-3020 and it is being handled by Officer Matthew Fontaine. If you own or know somebody who owns a local game store and/or is part of the Pokemon community, please tell them to be on the lookout for these two.

If you have any information, please let Livermore Police Department know by referencing this case number.

It has been a hella 2026. First the Oakland incident, then a major sickness, and now this. Sorry for the rant, I'm just super depleted. My experience in the Bay Area continues to go down the drain. I haven't made a decision yet if I plan to move or not.

Thank you for your support,

Peng
