Truckload of Modern Warefare 3 hijacked, different cargo but still a classic run setup. |

There's big money in video games. And easier to sell on the street than cigarettes in today's market, I bet!

Now I feel small-time for planning on how to steal from a McDonalds truck for Monopoly game pieces.

One of my Zombie Plans back home required hijacking a beer truck.

As much as I love beer, or ale, I would have to steal wine and scotch. Things that will last as long as my willpower will.

The comments on the article even include a Shadow Run-esque conspiracy implication. Activision was behind the heists!

Wouldn't put it past a company doing something like this for publicity, but I'd have thought they'd have done it in a different place, so it's more likely to be a legit hijacking.

By the way, if there's a Microsoft store anywhere near you, you can get MW3 and $50 worth of gift cards for $55.
If you preorder from Microsoft, you get a $25 card, and if you show up to the midnight launch party at a Microsoft store to pick it up, you get another $25 gift card. Not quite the same as getting the game for 5 bux, but close. |

Steal the shipment of competing game, so people buy your shit, sign up to your oppressive service, bam, two for the price of one! Also, "on-rails shooter and popular multiplayer" - that's a below-the-belt strike worthy of Saints' Row The Third. |

Actually, it was a pre-arranged deal with a good friend and his family. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) They also knew they'd need more hands to help with protection, as well as security and just general labor, so it wasn't a matter of trading beer for guns, it was trading beer and manhours for security, food, and firearms. It's not who you know, it's who knows you. |

For those getting inspired to make this into a run of their own game I'll also share this tactic that our group used. We located a weigh station on the highway the truck was traveling that was not in use and got it working and did all procedures (thank you standard operating procedures manual). Target rolled in, had the drive come in to do some paperwork, stun to unconsciousness, grab what our client wanted from the truck (some art) and took off on the highway.

As a driver. As a strategist, however. Very good. "Driver, pull around for inspection and bring all your paperwork." *shudders* I hate hearing that phrase. Only downside. Did the truck have a tail? Most HiVal loads have a team in a non-descript car following the truck. And in some cases (viagra, even...) They may be(and often are) armed. |

Well one of our group members did drive trucks for a part of his life... so that helped with the decision.
The art collection in question wasn't something that high profile of a target to have an escort, Armored car, driver + armed guard. I suspect the piece had more value to the client then anything. |

Just don't try to pass off a load of toilets when you're really hauling illegal firearms. The scales will tell them you're lying as soon as they see what you're "Really" hauling. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

Most HiVal loads have a team in a non-descript car following the truck. And in some cases (viagra, even...) They may be(and often are) armed. The trick then, I think, would be to disguise one of your team as the driver (preferably the wheelman, with necessary hacker support to get around biometrics and whatever other security they've got), have them get in the truck, and then proceed to lose the tail (yeah, I know, losing a tail in a truck isn't going to be easy - unless you think in terms of stopping the tail, rather than maneuvering the truck itself) long enough to either unload the truck or swap trailers. |

It's huge, has tons of supplies, & it's own vehicle bays for loading/unloading. 1 stop shop for gas/fuel, food, drinks, & whatever else I could find there. |

Wait until it has to pull in for fuel, stop next to it, then take off.Tail lost at least long enough to switch loads. "Oh, sorry, thought you were done." Works really well when the driver is in the can, too. FYI: Bring empty bottles so you don't have to visit the can. |

I swear, some of you come up with such practical, pragmatic ideas that you really are professional non-corp takers and Shadowrun is fun for you because of future tech and magic. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) LOL
