'The Playstation Job' Heisters Arrested

Posted by simoniker on from the do-17,000-playstations-fit-in-a-mini? dept.

Thanks to the New Jersey Star-Ledger for their news that a gang who stole $5 million worth of PlayStation consoles in a high-tech train heist have been arrested and indicted. According to the article, the theft ring, known as the 'Conrail Boyz', stole more than $20 million of merchandise from freight trains, and their "..largest single take was 17,496 Sony PlayStation electronic game systems worth more than $5 million and involved members driving off with a cargo container, authorities charged." Seriously, what would you do with 17,000 PlayStations?

    Gee, I dunno... Probably sell them on the black market?

    Assuming I was a criminal, of course.
