A news station in Boston is reporting that the home of a Vermont teen, who is undergoing cancer treatment in Boston, was targeted by a group of thieves. The thieves stole his Xbox 360 and over $1,000 in games and DVDs. Police believe that the thieves knew the teenager, have been to the house before, and knew he wouldn't be home since he was undergoing cancer treatment. High school friends and teammates have come together to help the family with bills and a local radio station received a donated Xbox 360 to give to the teen. We hope those thieves understand what they did on both a legal and an emotional level and get some sort of guidance in their lives.[Thanks, Jonah]

Some people should get their ass kicked publicly. I nominate these thieves when they are found.

It's one thing to steal Xbox 360's from trucks... stores... etc, but its another step lower to steal from a teen cancer patient...

I really can't believe this. I know that people steal stuff all the time, but this is just sad.

I hope this kid finds them, and he gives them massive teabaggings after destroying them. I think this is an atrocity and says alot about the world we live in. Hey thieves, you need to play in traffic blindfolded.

Man, talk about a one way ticket to Hell. I really, really, REALLY hope this bastards get caught and go to jail.
Microsoft should send him a 360 and some games like they did for the guy who was in a car accident with his 360. Hey 360 Fanboy, I think you guys should contact MS and suggest it to them, that would be a great deed.

"Police believe that the thieves knew the teenager"
it could have been random thieves who just stole that stuff... maar die polisie...
i seriously don't get this? just because the kid has cancer and what not, they make a big story of how he was targeted because the thieves new exactly when he was going to get his cancer treatment.

I will buy him one. This kind of sucks. My mother in law had cancer and its a bitch. Lets hope MS gives him a new one with all the games. That would be a PR dream.

You have to be kidding me!! This is just repugnant. Having lost a father to cancer, I know how hellish it can be to fight the disease. I am sure capping people in Gears of War was a nice distraction from the real misery in this kid's life.
It is during times like these that I wish there was a hell, so the kids who robbed him could burn in it.
Damn, now I'm all pissed off.

The thieves should be made to play Gundam on PS3 and watch Click on Blu-ray as punishment.
