A Winnipeg flea-market stall lost $70,000 in Pokémon cards in one night

A Pokémon collector is in disbelief after $70,000 worth of product and cards were stolen from his shop at a flea market in Winnipeg's South Osborne neighbourhood on Friday night. The setting is what makes the loss strange to picture: not a vault or a warehouse, but a stall, emptied of merchandise whose value sits entirely in printed cardboard — light, portable and quick to move. A shop's inventory can be worth a down payment and still fit in a car trunk.
