Theft at CES 2017

This is a statement from Lin-Miang Tan of Razer....

I've just been informed that two of our prototypes were stolen from our booth at CES today.

We have filed the necessary reports and are currently working with the show management as well as law enforcement to address this issue.

At Razer, we play hard and we play fair. Our teams worked months on end to conceptualize and develop these units and we pride ourselves in pushing the envelope to deliver the latest and greatest.

We treat theft/larceny, and if relevant to this case, industrial espionage, very seriously – it is cheating, and cheating doesn’t sit well with us. Penalties for such crimes are grievous and anyone who would do this clearly isn’t very smart.

If you were at the show and/or if you can provide us any information, please do reach out to us at legal@razerzone.com – all information provided will be kept in the strictest of confidence.

Now as you can see,many like to have a cracking at linus and his at his expense in these sort of situations.......But now its gotten beyond jokes and into the category of concern....

Is this a sign of things to come in years to follow? What can be done? AND...........If this is espionage or company theft......what steps should be taken?
