6000 Copies of Modern Warfare 3 Stolen!

That's right, you heard me, 6000 copies of Modern Warfare 3 were stolen. A French site TFI News reported that around 8 PM a van carrying 6000 copies of MW3 was crashed into by another car. After being crashed into, the two employees in the van got out to discuss what just happened. Although it seems like the other two ski masked individuals weren't quite so keen on this. The two individuals got out of their car and then tear-gassed the two employees and then hijacked the van. They then fled the scene as fast as possible. They were also armed with knives, but I'm sure these weren't needed with the use of the tear gas.

The van was hijacked in Paris, France. 6000 copies of Modern Warfare 3 consists of 400,000 euros stolen. Which when converted to USD is $550,680 worth of copies. So while just a bunch of games, this is definitely two professional criminals who know what they're doing.

*Edit* A second truck was apparently hit and now it's bound to be more than 6000 copies and an estimate from the New York Post says it could be up to 780,000 euros now; a little over a million in USD. When they took over the second truck, they set up a road block for when the truck would come. One of the now three people were armed with handguns and aimed it at the driver. The driver then abandoned the truck, now another truck hijacked.
