With only a few days after release, GameStop discovered a lamppost knocked over, taking out their main display window.  Without a doubt, they speculate this to be the cause of sim fans due to the constant returns and complaints about the latest Sims 3 Patch and the new Sims 3 World Adventures expansion.  The culprits manage to get away and police stopped investigation as they too completely understand the simmers feelings.  Word did get out that the chief of police stated it was the wrong window to smash.  No word on whether or not the EA Headquarters have any smashed windows.*

*This story is false – no Sim fans were involved or any ticked off gamer for that matter.  It appears that a delievery truck accidently knocked over the lamppost according to this article.  Whoops!
