We've heard stories of game-related robberies before, but this one is pretty impressive if you ask me (and by impressive, I mean f*cked up). Last week in Southern Ontario, Canada in a small city called Mississauga, a guy (or a few guys) decided they'd like to have some Xbox 360's -- a lot of them, in fact. Around 4:00 in the morning, a truck containing roughly 1,300 of the consoles was stolen from a trailer yard.
The police reported that for or five suspects wearing black took the 16-metre 2007 Air-Ride trailer. In case you spot something similar on the road while you're on your way to pick up your daily Egg McMuffin, the Ontario licence plate is C11-47X and trailer identification number 55334.
The security guard on duty was found bound and stuck under a nearby trailer. We're pretty sure he's been fired by now.

I'm sure Micro$oft has unleashed their corporate assassins to track down the Canucks and exact vengeance upon them, nobody steals money from M$ and lives! That "$" in M$ isn't there for show you know!
Would suck for the all the fools who would no doubt buy a cheaper system from the back of some Canadians snow mobile
Also...why would the security guard be fired?
Two xboxes pawned a week 6,500 weeks of drugs.
But yeah, I totally agreed with BlackSymbiote. I never thought I'd see it mentioned on Dtoid, let alone for this. Though I haven't checked the local newspaper yet, I wonder if it's enough for frontpage.
That being said if it was five on one and all the five having guns I don't think even the best security guard would have been able to stop them from stealing the truck.
. . . Just sayin' what we're all thinkin'.
Also M$
i guess they just really like the truck.
mississauga is the stank hole that is unfortunately located adjacent to toronto. with the help of it's ugly sister scarborough, it ensures children will never smile in the city, ever.
