Police said they seized twenty boxes of Final Fantasy figurines as evidence from Seaman’s bedroom before placing him under arrest.”

I am dumbfounded. Sure, I pinched a few smokes from my grandmother’s drawer when she was not looking, snagged a few beers from the ‘fridge and maybe forgot to give her some change back on a few occasions, but this is just ridiculous. I hope this moronic fanboy and his new cell mate have a lovely wedding.
