If I got paid as much as he probably does, it wouldn't be enough for me to go up against a guy who doesn't exit wielding an imaginary gun.

That certainly does take some balls.

Or a lot of desperation. He must have really wanted to play MW2.

I would probably have given him a trolley so that he could carry some more stuff out of there... I mean, I would be working a Gamestop...

I hope they catch him, what a bastard. They should take a look for low price MW2 games suddenly appearing.

Well they did the right thing, no point dieing defending somebody else's money, even if it is a only a vague risk.

Got to admire the man's balls, maybe he watched Out of sight beforehand, but what if they find out he really did have a friend with a gun waiting across the street? Would that make it armed robbery?

Give the thief some respect, dammit!
Or he'll threaten you with his friend who has a gun.

Seriously, how did he get out with 100 MW2 cases? He must be a magician of some kind.

That's... Just... Wow...

-blink-

Greg Tito:
That feat takes some cajones, thief guy. What, did you roll a natural 20 on your Bluff check? Impressive.

Yeah, that pretty much expresses it best. Must've had some magical D20's that could bend reality, because I have no idea how the hell he got away with it >_>

Either that, or the GameStop employees themselves stole the stuff by sneaking it out of the store and filed a fake police report. That's about as likely, provided there's no security camera involved.

that crap takes cajones. I'm gonna go try it! :D
(logs in to escapist 6 months later after a sentence for attempted theft)

I bet the clerk was in on it, that's what I would do for a free copy.

Though that guy maxed out his charisma stat unlike me, who foolishly buffed dexterity -_-

Man I would have loved to have been sitting outside on a bench or something and watching this guy carrying out 100 boxes of the same game. That would have made my day. How the hell did he do it?

Gamestop just fired someone for resisting a thief, and an assistant manager has been killed before.

This guy has his job, and his life, for doing what the thief said.

I'm more bamboozled with the fact that he stole 100 cases of the same fuckin game, rather than he got out with them.

I mean, what the fuck will you do 100 boxes of the same thing? All you need is one! What the hell is he gonna do with the rest of them?! Build a fuckin clubhouse?!?

Much respect to the guy for actually getting away with the crime, but come on! stealing 100 versions of the same game is just fuckin selfish on his account.

Far be it from me to be skeptical, but are we sure there was a man there in the first place?

I mean, it would be terrible if the clerks made up this story and ran off with all the MW2s after stacking them in the refuse...

This man must have balls the size of small planets.

Seriously though, 100 copies? I would actually put money on the fact that this may have been fuelled by a drunken bet of some kind.

Wow, that's just crazy....and most Gamestop's have atleast one camera watching over the register area...

What the hell is he going to do with 100 MW2s?

He can't sell them, everyone has one!

He can't exactly play every single one, unless he's a complete nutjob who somehow believes each one is different

Durr Hurr...I guess he'll just relish in the victory over Consumerism

Very nice quip on him rolling the natural 20 on the 'Bluff' check.

Although this does leave me speechless... Okay, Activision and IW deserves it if you ask me, but GameStop doesn't.

As much as an epic win (I use that very loosely. We are talking about THEFT, here...) the bluff was, I hope the guy is brought to justice for doing that. As strangely funny as this was, the person still committed a pretty serious crime. I mean.... $7000. Wow.

I hope the employees are alright, too. they must have been scared out of their minds when the guy said his friend outside would shoot them if they didn't co-operate.

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

They so did.

Xvito:

I'd just go with they guy. The value of the crap he took is probably more than you make working at the place for a year anyway.

Those games are long gone, im sure he found a group of sheeple to sell it to in like 15 minutes.

I call bullshit, how can there even be 100 Mw2 copies left in the first place?

I have to say I'm pretty impressed here. ether that guy was a really good bluffer or the employees were stupid. All around though this is pretty damn funny.

Yeah I know, retail employees are really the scum of the earth aren't they? I mean they should be doing other stuff and...all right yeah I can't keep being sarcastic about how stupid you sound.

Anyway in regards to why they didn't try and call his bluff, it's pretty much retail protocol to not try and be a hero because the store usually is insured against things like this and therefore nothing is really lost.

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.

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

MaxTheReaper:
My respect for this man is only slightly diminished by what I believe to be a poor choice in video gaming taste.

This. Unless he piles them all up and burns them. Activision and Infinity Ward deserve no better in my opinion.

/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?

Psh, I bet all he cares about is that he can sell them off for 40$ a piece and get rid of all of them in under a week. Who cares what game it is, profit is all the same.
