Following the fairly substantial theft of A/V gear from the crew of Giant Bomb on Monday comes word that Vlambeer also suffered the same sort of fate. A bag containing a laptop, two iPads, a PlayStation Vita, Vita test kit, a Kindle Fire, and an assortment of cables was stolen from the Figueroa Hotel during a post-E3 hangout for developers.
Vlambeer is the studio behind the fairly popular Ridiculous Fishing for iOS devices. The studio was working on a new game called Luftrausers. The code for Luftrausers was included on the devices in the bag.
The studio notified the police who informed them that there have been a string of people targeted for theft at E3. Cameras and equipment seemed to be the biggest target for thieves this year.
Luftrausers is a retail and more feature filled offering of a flash game, Luftrauser, which you can play here.

"Basically everything Vlambeer is in the bag," he said. "So it kind of feels like Vlambeer got stolen. We have good backups. We take good care of everything, We've got decent backups to continue working. It's just a giant pain."
