Union Tribune reported, “Stealing a video game is not considered grand theft because of the price. But, as one man learned Tuesday, it’s serious enough that it could cost him a felony on his record.”

“Dennis Richard Fiel, 27, suspected of robbing a GameStop store in Mira Mesa of the Grand Theft Auto IV video game, which hit store shelves Tuesday, faces felony robbery charges in connection with the Tuesday morning theft.”

“Police said Fiel went into the store on Mira Mesa Boulevard about 10:30 a.m. and sprayed employees with Mace before he ran off with two or three copies of the game, said police Detective Gary Hassen.”

“No injuries were reported.”
