You had one job FedEx: $400,000 worth of stolen Playdate consoles reappear at a random restaurant

Boxes full of Playdates outside a restaurant .

Panic, the makers of the handheld console Playdate, recently lived up to its name as it recounted a strange story about $400,000 worth of its products turning up outside a random restaurant, still in the boxes (mostly) and completely abandoned. There are even photos.

The company took to Twitter to explain everything: "Did you hear the story about how $400k worth of Playdates were misdelivered by FedEx to a construction site near our warehouse? And then someone just… stole them? Seriously." But for whatever reason, the culprit(s) decided that this haul was either not desirable enough or too big of a heist and dumped them outside a random restaurant close to the company's fulfillment warehouse—you can actually see it in the background of the photos.
