A local resident became the victim of a brazen theft after arranging to sell a Gigabyte RTX 5070 graphics card to a buyer contacted through Facebook Marketplace in Hastings, NY. The meeting, which took place on November 3, 2026, started as a routine sale. The owner allowed the prospective buyer to inspect the card to verify its condition, but the individual suddenly ran to a waiting vehicle and sped off without paying a single dollar for the item.
Witnesses on scene described the suspect’s vehicle as a newer black Mercedes C-Class with tinted windows. The stolen GPU, valued at approximately $700, carries the serial number SN251401024883, which can be used to help identify the unit if it resurfaces for resale online or in local electronics shops.
