Two Razer Blade Gaming Laptop Prototypes Stolen

According to IGN a news broke by way of a message to Razer’s fan community from CEO Min-Liang Tan that someone broke into the company’s San Francisco-based research and development labs and stole two Razer Blade prototypes.

Here is the message Min-Liang Tan CEO of Razer to the community:

Dear Razer Community,

Over the weekend of 11/4/11, we had a break-in at one of our Razer offices. Two Razer Blade prototypes were stolen from our Bay area R&D lab.

As you can imagine, the return of these prototype units is very important to the company. We have already reported this to the authorities who are working closely with us on this matter.

We take this act of theft seriously and would like to appeal for its return and discourage anyone from buying the Razer Blade prototypes from the perpetrators, whether online or otherwise, as they are stolen property.

We appreciate any and all information anyone may have on the incident. Please contact us at cult@razerzone.com if you have any information

Thank you for all your support.
