If some guy in Pennsylvania approaches with an offer to sell you Modern Warfare 2 at a cheap price, be very suspicious. It's not that this copy is fake, just that it's likely stolen.
Around 7:00 PM on Tuesday, a man waltzed into a GameStop in Meadville and told the clerks he had a friend waiting outside, ready to shoot them both if they called the cops. He then took 100 copies of Modern Warfare 2 from behind the counter, along with some other items, racking up $6,900 in stolen merchandise.
Well, guess that's 100 copies Activision and Infinity Ward won't be seeing profits from. Don't worry, they've already sold 4.7 million in North America and the UK, so we doubt they'll miss the stolen units. We're still hoping the police catch the thief and his friend, if he actually had an accomplice.
