Last Sunday, the city of Mississauga in Southern Ontario, Canada was the scene of a mass Xbox 360 theft.

A truck carrying over 1,300 Xbox 360 consoles was stolen from a trailer yard at 4 AM. The total value ballparks at around US$670,000.

According to police, four or five suspects in dark clothing stole a black 16-metre 2007 Air-Ride trailer, with the Ontario licence plate C11-47X and trailer identification number 55334.

The suspects attacked a security guard who had his hands and feet bound together and was left under a parked trailer. The security guard is expected to make a full recovery.

Misleading title. I thought your Xbox 360 had been stolen.

Giggles!

It wasn't me

That stinks. All that money, gone. Expect some cheap 360s to go on the (internet) market real soon.

This happened right by me. Literally, up the street from where I wErk

Wow.... suspects confirmed PS3 fanboys? JK!

I wonder where they will sell all those? Ebay would be pretty good. Or a mix of Ebay, Craigslist, and some other personal website.

^and we hae our first suspect! Call the mounties!

You did it!

I must admit I was expecting a punchline at the end of the article.
