Thief Steals $300,000 Worth of Video Games

game_thief.jpgYou wouldn't mistake a trailer truck for an armored security car or video games for an illicit foreign cartel's worth of Peruvian marching powder...or maybe you would. For reasons unknown, some enterprising thief decided to nab a trailer in Missassauga, Ontario (just west of Toronto) stacked with thousands of video games.

Net worth? Over a quarter of a million bucks.

Police apparently found the trailer outside Peel, Ontario, but no sign of the games.

Imagine. Someone hauls thousand of copies of something like Guitar Hero III (hey, it ships on 10/28, so who knows, right?) off a truck in the middle of the night and puts them...where? How many thousands of games can dance on the head of a pin...or fit in the backseat of someone's Honda Civic (the bestselling car in Canada since 1998)?

Impudence, thy name is game burglar.
