Masked thieves stole $15,000 worth of Pokémon cards from The Card Lab in Brentwood, California. The heist lasted under 40 seconds and was captured on a Ring camera. The store had opened only two months prior and is now temporarily closed for security upgrades.

The stolen items included a Roaring Skies booster box valued at approximately $5,000. Two Sun and Moon-era boxes, each worth between $1,500 and $2,000, were also taken. Police are investigating the incident as grand theft, and the suspects remain at large.
Ronnie Hackett, likely the store owner, expressed his desire for the thieves to be found. He stated, "At the end of the day, I want these guys to be found. Granted, we may or may not get our stuff back, but there have got to be consequences for doing what they're doing." He emphasized the importance of bringing awareness to prevent similar incidents.
The theft highlights the vulnerability of small businesses that deal in high-value collectibles. The Card Lab's brief operation and rapid closure underscore the impact of such crimes on local retailers.
