T23 wrote Sorry if that was already posted but I couldn't find any related or similar post in the last 3 pages. Also all this info came from Joystiq.

A delivery truck in Crteil, France carrying 6,000 copies of Modern Warfare 3 was hijacked and stolen on Saturday by two masked people, French news outlets TFI and Ultimate PS3 reported. The truck crashed with a car, and when the truck's driver exited, two people in masks tear-gassed them before taking off with the games, TFI said. The shipment was reported to be worth 400,000 euros ($551,000).

If you're in the Crteil area and happen to see two people in a delivery truck grinning like maniacs and most likely high-fiving a lot, you may want to contact the authorities. And everyone -- let's settle down. Modern Warfare 3 comes out on Tuesday. It's not worth jail time to play this one a few hours early.

i LOL'd.

It definitely wasn't out of desperation, they COULD have wanted to play it early; however, that leaves thousands of other copies to do what with? They stole them to sell them! Each games worth $60 (or more depending on the version) here in the Unites States. Not sure what that is in France, but it sure as heck doesn't go down in value for them.

Hope You Guys Know All The Copies Have A Code On Them Or Should So They Will Get Tracked Along With The Truck Stupid French Bastards Think There Good Lol.
