Spectral Jester Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 In something that befits a launch of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's magnitude, reports abound that professional masked highway robbers in France have rammed and hijacked a truck, stealing its precious cargo of video games, in what sounds like a heist from a movie. That stolen video game is apparently Modern Warfare 3. The truck was reportedly driving through Créteil in southern Paris, before being smashed off the road by another vehicle and set upon by two masked men brandishing knives. The thieves then used tear gas to subdue the truck's driver and his colleague, before making off with the vehicle's contents. Initial reports didn't specify which game had been stolen from the truck in Paris, but subsequent stories sourcing French news agency say that the thieves took 6000 copies of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, valued at somewhere in the region of €400,000. Blimey! Modern Warfare 3 is out tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absolute Dog Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Whoa! That is a friggin' story! Hate to hear this, but man there will be some early players that might get caught trying to play the game early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choot 'em Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 That is an iteresting story Jester! Thieves are getting very imaginative in their quests to make money. Now they attack the gaming industry? LOLOLOLOL!!!!!!! Should be fairly easy to catch them though, i give them a week. 6000 copies?, that's a lot of games to move. Just look on ebay for the seller with more than 10 copies for sale (no logical reason to have that many). I'm sure they will try to use the internet to move most of them. The audacity of some people never ceases to amaze me! WOW!!! Thanks Jester!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BraverKING514 Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 Why would you steal something so bad!? At least steal CEA or Batllefield 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Welldone Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 Even though this is from a bit ago, I gotta to say, that was a lot of MW3s. I wonder, have they been caught yet, or maybe they still have some of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT Warchild Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 lol the games weren't the only value, each Calll of Duty game has one 48HR GOLD PASS, THAT WAS WORTH IT I THINK!! 48HR GOLD PASS X 6,000 = SOOOOO MUCH FREE XBOXLIVE!!

M4sT3r Ch13f S117 Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 Sad. I play MW3 But its not so amazing that they should take 6000 copies. Id rather a Halo game. Noobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FIREN4 Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 They could've tracked them down if they have LIVE. Microsoft could go on their system and see who's playing MW3 the day before release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
