  "account": "A significant heist took place outside PSA's Santa Ana headquarters, resulting in the theft of nearly a million dollars worth of trading cards. Police have confirmed that an estimated $963,000 worth of trading cards, including Pokémon cards and sports cards, were stolen from a truck that was parked outside the company's building in mid-October.\n\nThe exact value of the stolen items is yet to be determined, but the investigation is ongoing. The theft occurred when a FedEx driver left their truck unattended for around 60 to 90 minutes, allowing thieves to break into the truck and steal all the packages. FedEx has assured customers that the security of their shipments is their top priority and is cooperating with local law enforcement in the investigation.\n\nPSA has also confirmed that it will refund customers affected by the theft, based on the fair market value of the cards up to the maximum insured value. The company has deactivated the certificates of all the stolen goods. This incident adds to the growing list of trading card game (TCG) thefts, with several men recently pleading guilty to stealing over £71,000 worth of Pokémon TCG. Trading card shops have also experienced an increase in burglaries over the past few years as card prices continue to rise. With no improvement in sight, some believe the only solution is for The Pokémon Company to flood the market with cards, devaluing them and removing the incentive for reselling.",
