    $1.1 Million Worth of PS3 Games Stolen

    Someone, or some group of people, located in the UK have stolen $1.1 Million (USD) worth of video games. The games, which were first stolen from the shipping driver while he dozed and then later from the "secure" police lockup, included seven separate pallets of goods.

    All of the games were PlayStation 3 titles. There were several copies of Grand Theft Auto IV, and over 16,000 copies of the new title, Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway.

    The police have issued at statement on the matter.
    “We are pursuing a number of lines of enquiry, including eBay transactions where a number of the games have been potentially identified as being advertised for sale. Arrests have already been made in respect of this.”

    After the initial theft of the pallets from the truck, the goods were taken to a secure police facility. Mere hours after this, the games were stolen once more and have not yet been recovered.

        Who would sell them the day after they are stolen, just wait a week or sell them in secret...

          So let me get this right; They were stolen from the truck driver, found by the police and locked up, then stolen AGAIN from the police?

          MAN, someone wants those games pretty bad. It doesnt make sense though to steal that quantity. Why not steal another truck again?

          Article also mentions how they found stuff on Ebay and arrests are and have been made. Very smart individuals.
