Report: French delivery truck hijacked, 6,000 copies of Modern Warfare 3 stolen

4.7

A delivery truck in Créteil, 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 drivers 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 Créteil 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.

Tattoo Why is this game so important to people!! I mean it's just A game. Not this much stuff happened when MW2 came out.

i think they care more about the money then that game or else they would of only took one each

why take 1 each if there is 6000 copies and tear gas these masked people really screwed up if they left the tear gas canisters behind since each can has id and manufacture location which wouldnt be hard to trace back to them and tear gas is over kill seems like militairy or ex- militairy if you ask me.
