Jonny_Tightlips Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 £1 million worth of 360s stolenTwo lorry loads of consoles hijacked as thieves stock up for Christmas. By Emma Boyes, GameSpot UK Posted Nov 24, 2006 1:47 pm PT Two consignments of Xbox 360s has been stolen in the UK this week, reports regional newspaper, the Express and Star. The first occurred after a lorry was flagged down travelling south on the A38 at Hillards Cross. The driver, who thought he was being waved down to inform him of a problem with his vehicle, pulled over. The men then threatened him and dragged him out of the cab, they then made off with the lorry and £750,000 (approx $1.5 million) worth of consoles. The driver suffered minor injuries, and the lorry was later found--empty--further down the A38. The second theft occurred in the Hellmann Worldwide Logistics depot on the morning of November 23, when a trailer containing £250,000 ($483,000) worth of Microsoft's next-gen consoles was taken. Staffordshire police spokesman Peter Stevens said, "We are appealing for information from anyone offered [the consoles] in suspicious circumstances, such as in a pub, at a car boot sale, or off the back of a lorry, to help us track down those responsible." Im pretty sure we've all thought about doing this at one point or another, but looks like some UK children wont be having 360s under their christmas trees this year. People these days. ...besides that I ain't sayin nuthin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane5 Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 We had a truck docked here at my work completely full of 360's with the trailer backed into the dock and the doors open, for at least 6 hours. I thought how easy I could slip away with some. I wonder why the 360's are coming in mass loads? Other consoles don't come this way. Seems like they're making themselves a target. Watch for a flood of 360's on ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlianAnt Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 I thought about doing this crap but with Gears of War and Halo 2. And I wouldn't steal all of the copies, just take one for me. However, not everyone is a pussy like me. Not only did they acctually do what I've always dreamed, they did it with infinitely more expecive product, and took them all. What the hell ever happend to buying things? Metal up your ass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingvercetti Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 They'll probably sell them all at a fraction of the price, but either way they'll make a hell of a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
