Razer [wikipedia.org] is a company that makes laptops and computer peripherals such as keyboards, mice, etc. The CEO announced on Monday that two unspecified prototypes were stolen [pcmag.com] from their booth at the Consumer Electronics Show:

In a Facebook post [facebook.com] early Monday, Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan said he'd "just been informed that two of our prototypes were stolen from our booth at CES today."

"We treat theft/larceny, and if relevant to this case, industrial espionage, very seriously — it is cheating, and cheating doesn't sit well with us," Tan wrote, possibly suggesting a competitor stole the machines. "Penalties for such crimes are grievous and anyone who would do this clearly isn't very smart." Tan added that Razer has filed "the necessary reports" and is now working with CES management and law enforcement to catch whoever stole the prototypes. He encouraged anyone with information about the theft to reach out to Razer's legal team.
