Robberies at Pokémon stores? Who does that? Guess they're just trying to catch 'em all... cash and merch! Anyways, NYPD needs to get their game on and figure out who's behind this! That's like, a serious amount of loot they took. Hope the owners are doing okay.

I mean, come on! A Pokémon store? That's like stealing a kid's dream come true . But seriously, $1,000 and who knows how much merch is a pretty big haul. I'm not gonna lie, it's a bit disheartening to see people resorting to violence over material things .

But at the end of the day, it's just money and stuff that can be replaced or recovered . What really matters is what's left behind – the community, the memories, the love for Pokémon . That's something no one can take away from us.

The police are on it, and that's all we can do is wait and hope justice is served . Fingers crossed everything gets resolved without anyone getting hurt .

omg can u believe this?! a pokemon store in manhattan got robbed by 3 armed guys who made off with like $1000 in cash and a bunch of merch i mean what even is the point of stealing from a pkmn store lol it's not like they're selling anything valuable anyway, hope no one was hurt during the whole thing gotta wonder how long it took those thieves to find out about that unlisted phone tho security needs to step up for this

Manhattan's Pokémon store being robbed is crazy! I mean, $1,000 in cash and who knows what else they made off with? That's like a small fortune! You'd think stores would have better security nowadays, but I guess you never know. The NYPD should get to the bottom of this ASAP . But at the same time, it's just so weird that people are still trying to steal from stores and not online . Like, if they want Pokémon merch, can't they just buy it online like everyone else? Anyway, I hope the store owner is okay and recovers from this theft. Fingers crossed

I'm surprised this stuff still happens . Like, shouldn't people have enough sense to not steal from a Pokémon store? I mean, it's just a place where people go to buy some fun stuff for their kids or themselves, you know? Three armed robbers just walk in and take whatever they want? That's crazy talk! And what's with the unlisted mobile phone? Who carries that around? It's like they're expecting someone specific to just hand it over. I don't get it.

I'm also thinking about how this is gonna affect the people who run the Pokémon store. They probably won't get their $1,000 back, and now they've got a bunch of worthless merchandise and a security breach on their hands. It's just a headache waiting to happen! I swear, sometimes I think some people have no idea how their actions affect others.

Manhattan's Pokémon store getting robbed is like something out of an old-school anime or movie. I mean, who does that? You'd think in today's digital age, people would know better than to target a retail store with a bunch of nostalgic merchandise. I'm sure the staff was just sitting there, waiting for some thieves to come and steal all their Pikachu plushies .

But seriously, $1,000 is a decent chunk of change, and I'm sure the police are gonna have to do some digging to figure out who's behind this. And that unlisted mobile phone? That's like something from a spy movie or something . It's just so... interesting.

You know what would be even more interesting though? If they could track down whoever stole the rare Pokémon cards . That's some serious collector's item right there! Anyway, gotta give it up to the NYPD for being on the case and making sure that everyone in Manhattan stays safe

I mean, what's going on with these robberies in NYC lately? First it's the Pokémon store and now someone else gets robbed... you'd think people would learn to be more careful with their valuables . The fact that they took an unlisted phone is pretty shady too - who does that? And $1,000 is a decent chunk of change... I'm sure the shop's gonna feel it for a while .

I wonder if these guys knew what they were taking - Pokémon merch isn't exactly hard to fence, but still . The NYPD should be able to catch them soon enough though, fingers crossed . Anyone got any theories on who might've done this? Maybe some fans of Team Rocket in the area? Just saying...

OMG just saw the news about that Pokémon store in Manhattan being robbed I'm so worried about those people who work there... they must be super scared and what if it was a Pokémon go player who was in the store at the time of the robbery? would they still get their rewards or something? anyway, $1000 is like, a lot of money but I guess that's just how it goes sometimes I wonder if they have any security cameras that caught anything on tape and did they call the police right away? hope everything works out okay for the people affected

Man, what a crazy thing to happen at that Pokémon store ! I mean, you're walking around in Manhattan thinking it's gonna be a chill day and then BAM, you got hit with a robbery . And on top of the cash, they swiped some merch too...I guess Pikachu plushies aren't as valuable as we thought . But for real though, can you even imagine how scary that must've been for the employees? I hope they're okay.

And an unlisted phone? Like what's the point of having one if it's not listed in the first place? Guess that's a security concern now...the NYPD gotta be super careful to figure out who had that thing. So, like, did anyone catch the perps on camera or is this all just a mystery for now?

Manhattan's Pokémon store was robbed . I'm pretty sure no one expects to get robbed at a place that's all about catching and collecting cute creatures . What's even crazier is that they stole an unlisted mobile phone - like, who does that? It's just so random.

I don't really know what the police are going to find out, but it sounds like these guys were pretty brazen (and reckless). I mean, $1k isn't a lot of money, and there are plenty of other ways to make that kind of cash. Plus, they got away with merch - which is actually kinda valuable if you're into that sorta thing .

Anyway, hope the police can catch these guys (no pun intended) and get some justice for the store owners. It's a bummer that something like this has to happen in NYC, but I'm sure they'll figure it out .

Manhattan's Pokémon store gets robbed . You'd think stores would have better security in such areas but I guess you can never be too careful. The fact that they managed to get away with over a grand in cash and who knows how much merch is pretty shocking. It's always sad when something like this happens, especially since it's not the first time a Pokémon store has gotten hit. I'm guessing the police will have their hands full trying to figure out what happened and catch the perpetrators.

One thing that does seem weird is that they stole an unlisted mobile phone . I mean, why would someone go through all that trouble just to swipe some random phone? It's like they were looking for something specific or maybe it was just a way to throw off the cops? Either way, it's definitely not helping the investigation. Fingers crossed the police are able to crack the case and bring these guys to justice.
