South Korean design office hit by thief who only stole DDR5 memory

Your memory may now be at risk

According to a post shared on a local forum, the intruder entered the design office area and smashed the tempered-glass side panels on two desktop systems. Desk drawers and other items in the office were reportedly left untouched. The only missing hardware was system memory.

The stolen parts were listed as four Micron DDR5-5600 32GB modules rated CL46. According to the thread, the systems were otherwise intact, with the theft limited to the memory sticks.

It’s unclear why the suspect would single out Micron modules, but since the company has quit the consumer market with its memory, perhaps it wasn’t a thief at all, but a collector? 

After the damage, the owner plans to rebuild the affected PCs and move away from tempered-glass cases which reveal too much from the inside. A sleeper build is probably better for a design office anyway.
