Kotaku • • technology
Key Points:
- A 72-year-old Ohio man, Kent Kubasta, has been charged with a first-degree misdemeanor for illegally planting a GPS tracking device on a delivery driver's vehicle to monitor Pokémon card deliveries.
- Kubasta admitted to placing the SpyTech GPS device outside the Operation Fandom store to track the location and delivery of Pokémon cards, likely targeting the sold-out 30th Celebration set.
- The incident highlights the lengths some collectors may go to obtain rare Pokémon cards, despite the legal risks including up to 180 days in jail and a $1,000 fine.
- The store owner noted that Kubasta's actions were unnecessary, as information about Pokémon card drops is readily available through social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.
