I swear I was making a thread about "10 things that will happen during the Wii U launch" and I swear I was going to write that a shipment of consoles would be hijacked. This happens every time a home console launches!

On another note, I remember when I first started working for the Sheriff's dept. And somebody reported an RCA Playstation stolen. I was just a dispatcher and I kept telling the investigator that there IS NO SUCH THING as an RCA Playstation. Only Sony makes it! He logged it into the computer and when it accepted it, he looked at me like some sort of idiot as if to say, "I told you so!" It pisses me off to this very day!

ok this confirms it...d21lewis had insider info about this incident! 

Nah, it just always happens!

Wii:  Unfortunately, only stories from this incident are popping up on Google.  I'm too lazy to dig through them all.

There was even a Gamecube warehous robbery!  When a new console launches, somebody is going to steal a truckload of 'em.
