I don't like him. I think he deserves a blanket party.HardRockSamurai said:
My thoughts exactly. Seriously thought that's a hell of a lot of money. drive those across the country and sell them piece by piece, you'll make a heinous amount.super_smash_jesus said:

I'm going to be slightly more suspicious of cheap 360's. May buy one though, their future line up is healthier than I expected.
Don't they have serial numbers? Surely these can be traced.
Disclaimer: I'm not condoning illegal activity and would report if I suspected I had one.
.... later sources would reveal a few of the XBOX'es red ringing, prompting the thieves to turn it in to Microsoft for a repair. They were captured minutes later.
Come on, you'd laugh if that happened.

well your meant to stick up for the man, not stick it to him.JRCB said:
You said "if you don't, I will", thereby questioning his ethics and morality, I dont think it makes you a jerk. But thats why he called you one.
Chortle Chortle.
while your busted hand may one day heal, and I'll never have 3 PS3's, at least I'll be popular in well lit public places, what with not having fungus attached to my face.HardRockSamurai said:
Funny vid... somehow.
Actually, I think they caught him, but he got off with a light sentence.PyroZombie said:

Anyway, back on topic. Assuming they ditched the truck shortly after the heist, how did the perpetrators move thirteen hundred XBox360s? At approximately 16 pounds per unit (not counting packaging, peripherals, etc.) we're looking at TWENTY THOUSAND POUNDS. That's ten tons! It's not like you can just shove those all in the closet and hope Mom doesn't notice.
This speaks of premeditation, or access to a really secluded garage. I'd look at the inside-job angle.
...and dammit, now I'm imagining a bus hanging halfway off a cliff with more than a thousand 360s inside, right before a... cliffhanger ending. ARGH. Self-inflicted pun injury!
Not very smart on the part of the police. If I were the person who stole the truckload, I'd charge full price. WAY more money to be made by doing that. Or if they put them on a craigslist for $50 cheaper saying they are used, it would be even easier to liquidate the stock.Malygris said:
Maybe it was just some guys frustrated with getting their 360s replaced from RRODing. Now they never have to wait to get a new one!
On the otherhand how the hell would you get rid of 1300 xbox360s... By the time they're done selling them a new console might be out.

it's in Peel Region, hence the Peel Regional Police and if you read the article you'd have found that out tooSirSchmoopy said:
Halton is Oakville, Burlington, Halton Hills and Milton
i'm pretty sure they took it from the m$ depot they have there cause that's the right area for that or it's a futureshop depot, i forget and i'm not bored enough to go find out
