I use Gamefly, and in the past year, I have had return issues with three games. At first I was thinking that Gamefly needed to get their act together, but now I think that there is something more sinister going on. If I lived in Philadelphia, I would certainly think something was going on. As it turns out, a Philadelphia USPS worker knows exactly where many Gamefly games are; he stole them.

Reginald Johnson of Germantown, PA, stole over 2,200 video games that are worth over $86,000. Apparently, he was stealing the games and trading them at Gamestop for store credit. I know when I check my Gamefly Q, most of my desired games are not in stock. Are they popular, or are they simply being stolen and traded. If one man can make off with 2,200 games, then 100 scandalous workers could easily make off with a quarter of a million games. Personally, I think this just sucks; even if Reginald Johnson is the only trash bag thief out there, he has done substantial damage to a service that has affected many people.

If you live in the East, and your games have gone missing, I would be suspicious. If you have had several games disappear in your account, I would press the local post office to investigate. I just wonder how Gamefly will be reimbursed, and why Gamefly was willing to accept 2,200 games missing in one particular geographical area.
