Trucks carrying MW3 shipments get jacked!

There are some crazy people out there. A trucking carrying 6,000 copies of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 was hijacked in France.

The story goes that two men rammed the delivery truck using a van, came out wearing hoods or skimasks armed with knives then used teargas to knock the drivers down while making off with the loot. The shipment was said to be worth 400,000 Euros. That's not the end of the story. Another truck was hijacked in France on Saturday. This time with 3 men who used a "weapon" to stela the whole truck after blocking the road. That truck was said to have 380,000 Euros worth of MW3 copies.

It takes all kinds of people to make the world go round.
