Man Steals 100 Copies of Modern Warfare 2

[randommaster]

When no one was looking, a thief stole a hundred copies of Modern Warfare 2. He took 100 copies.

That's as many as ten tens.

And that's terrible.

I don't think this guy is the richest man in Metropolis, though.

While this guy probably already sold most of the games, it's so much funnier to imagine him playing all of them at the same time.

And most people seem to think that this guy is incredibly awesome. This was pretty guttsy, and a better plan than DRAWING maskd on your face, but I wonder what prompted this particular method. All I can say is, Somali pirates, eat your heart out.

You know what? I'm calling bullshit on this one. It hits that magic line between plausible and fantastic that the Internet falls for every time some punk makes up a story like this. 100 copies? There's just no way.

It's a lot easier to believe when an acrual police report has been filed and can be verified. The most likely case was that the robber was a friend of the clerk or the clerk just really didn't care.

Or maybe the clerk is just too paranoid about 4kids' invisible guns.

 

[Logic 0]

Was the thief a body builder? because I can't think of any other way he would be able to lift 100 copys out of a store at once. and also I'm suprised that no one got a good enough look at him to give a good discription.

 

[SomethingUnrelated]

Urgh....

You wouldn't believe him. Or at least, you shouldn't. If he'd pulled out a gun you could actually see in store, that's a different situation altogether.

Meh, it was GameStop. They probably asked for it.

You're going to give me HOW MUCH for Batman Arkham Asylum?! ...You see that guy outside with his hand in his pocket?

Uh...what? Sorry, whats that got to do with anything?

You know the internet...many people being strange. But like I said earlier, it's should have nothing to do with Gamestop...it's standard protocol that you always follow a thief's demands, no matter what.

COJONES!! COJONES!! The hell is "cajones"? Is it French, English or what?

Ca-Ho-Neys - It's spanish, originates from Tex/Mex region. It's Mexican slang for "testicles", and it means you got balls the size of boulders.

"You just walked in and asked for the damn games? And they let you walk out with them? You got brass cojones, más chingón!"

Haha, no.

Cajón is a drum box.

I was giving you a phonetic spelling. If you knew so damn much about it already then what the fuck were you asking for??

The "fuck" I'm asking for is about this:

That feat takes some cajones, thief guy.

And I think I've seen it on the forums in this incorrect form, too. Also, NO, phonetic spelling isn't "ca-ho-neys". It's "co-ho-ness". Co reads normally like co, jo reads like "ho" but without the "ou" at the end, and "nes" is like "ness" with a bit shorter "ess".

Well where I come from, people don't know their spanish that well so it becomes localized as Ca-ho-ness, which is why people tend to misspell it. Thanks for being ironic without quoting a relevant post and wasting all my time, troll.

Actually, employees are not allowed to put up any resistance whatsoever. They knew it was all bullshit, but they'd lose their jobs if they took the chance. The way the company sees it, what if, just WHAT IF, the guy wasn't bluffing? No matter what, the company does not want blood on their hands.

 

[Scumpernickle]

This guy is almost as awesome as the guy that broke out of jail disguised in a box!

What? Where was I ironic? Are you thick or what?

Correct pronounciation is cojoness, and it's written "cojones". I quoted OP's post, where he made the mistake, and you call it a "irrelevant post"?

I think you need a brain doctor.

 

[matnatz]

well, I'm glad. Modern Warfare 2 deserves to be pirated.

 

[Danny Ocean]

That's so amazing of an idea. We need more people like him, people who can get shit done like that.

Oh, we have plenty of people like him. They work for Military Intelligence.

And they're reading this right now.

I commend them. It takes real intelligence to do something like that. And we need more people like that one officer in Police Academy, who could make those sound effects. That is just awesome.

Think how many lives we could save!

 

[ScarBrow07]

If I heard that at that time I'd shit myself too. Crazy shit happens at game openings. I would not be surprised if a shop else where was held at gun point for MW2

 

[Lonan]

I have two questions, what is Gamestop and why do Americans hate it so much? Also, isn't there also EB Games in the U.S., why not just go there?

 

[TheSeventhLoneWolf]

Ok, that's something they wont fall for again. If they do you may as well rob them with an air guitar.

 

[Dys]

They are going to need a whole new generation of copy-protection to fend this type of pirate.

/thread (also lol)

For some reason I imagine the final countdown playing as he made the 100 copies of the game levitate out before him. Seriously, how did he carry them all?

There is this state of the art device called a box. I know I know we talking hi-tech here.

Because most hiests are commited by felons carting around a box, practical and tough. More likely than not he just had them put in bags, but I'm not here to consider real options when arrested development style magic tricks are an option.

I know this is rocket science but most game releases ship in box shippers. Typically between 50-100 units per box. I don't know one game stop that puts their games away on release day, they keep them in the box behind the counter. Obviously the guy grabbed the shipper and bolted out the door. Who the fuck brings a bag to gamestop? He isn't robbing a bank...

Gamestop has plastic bags, y'know, to put shit in......

 

[Fearzone]

Give me a f'ing break.

Inside job.

You get all kinds of 'scammers' at GameStop. I know a lot of people think that we (and by 'we' I mean the company) are trying to scam customers, but seeing posts on the GameFaqs forum that have a subject line like "Help me scam GameStop" stop me from feeling any real sympathy. Not that I care how the store makes it's money. Go ahead and go to Walmart/GameCrazy... I don't really care.

We always bow out to an angry girlfriend though (at least the store manager does). This guy could have snagged way more if he also said he had a fiance with no engagement ring on her monthly outside as well.

This is a pretty funny story. I wonder if we'll get an email about it sometime...
