## Resource

In a brazen, two-minute smash-and-grab heist at Mad Rats Toys in West Houston, thieves used a sledgehammer to shatter the front window and steal $10K worth of rare Pokémon cards—plus another $10K in store damage. Security footage captured four suspects: three smashing glass, one driving getaway. The shop, a beloved local hub for card games like Magic: The Gathering and Yu-Gi-Oh!, suffered both financial and community losses. Two suspects are now in custody; police are still hunting the other two—and urge anyone with tips to come forward.
