The Great $670,000 Xbox Heist

fast-and-furious

Dramatic re-creation

Bad news for 1,300 potential Xbox customers. A truck packed with that many 360s was stolen this weekend from a trailer yard at 4 AM in Ontario. The street value? Over $670,000, provided the thieves don’t unbox their haul and find 1,300 red rings of death starring back at them.

Though the robbery wasn’t quite as intense as what’s depicted on the left, the thieves did attack and bind a security guard before making off with the loot, but he’s expected to be OK. So if you see a black, 16-meter Air-Ride trailer with Ontario license plate C11-47X, either call the police or arm yourself for a bit of citizen justice with more video game consoles than you could ever want as the prize. But you should probably just call the cops.

    About Me

    After rising to blogging fame as the University of Michigan's answer to Gossip Girl, I took the EIC job at a student blog network spreading my wealth of college experience across the nation. My passion project is a movie/tv/gaming site called Unreality and I'm a movie news editor at JoBlo.com. I'm new to this business, and I think I'm a part of the first generation of journalists to skip print media entirely. When I started out, I had zero idea blogging could be a career, but I've learned more in the last ten months than I did in four years of college. What exactly did I major in again?
