A delivery truck in Créteil, France carrying 6,000 copies of Modern Warfare 3 (http://www.joystiq.com/game/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-3) was hijacked and stolen on Saturday by two masked people, French news outlets TFI (http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=fr&sl=fr&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Flci.tf1.fr%2Ffilnews%2Ffrance%2Fcre teil-pres-de-400-000-euros-de-jeux-video-derobes-6809344.html&anno=2) and Ultimate PS3 (http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=fr&sl=fr&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ultimateps3.fr%2Fnews-ps3-8215-maj-pres-de-6000-exemplaires-de-modern-warfare-3-voles-hier-a-creteil.html) 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.

How do they expect to unload 6,000 copies without it making it's way back to some proper authorities? (not to mention hiding the truck)

That's ridiculous! I can't believe they prepared that much to steal MW3. The game comes out tomorrow and by that time they'll already be in jail (hopefully).

Burn the truck and the games after taking a few dozen and selling them off. You'll have a small supply which won't draw any/ much attention selling them and well fire is a good way to get rid of evidence like fingerprints and such... :P

But seriously though weren't there better things they could've stole?
