What is wrong with kids like this. Entitlement issues here. As a tax payer I do not want the police to even take these calls. Throw the video games away and let him meet some kids with no families to see how much they want one.

What should happen is this kid's video games should be confiscated and donated to charity. He should then be give community service for the entire summer picking up trash that is thrown all over our sidewalks. Report at 7 every morning and work until 5. Imagine what the parents are like.
