Indiana Jones Gets Robbed

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the no-time-for-love-doctor-jones dept.

HotChk101 writes "Over 2000 production stills, plenty of sensitive paperwork including a complete production budget breakdown, possibly the script from Indiana Jones 4 and multiple computers were stolen from Steven Spielberg's Universal Studio office. The thief started contacting multiple entertainment websites including TMZ.com and offering the stolen goods for a sum of $2000.00."

    They caught him already. He tried to sell the stuff to a member of the press, who reported it to the police, and a sting operation was carried out. Read the article. :)

    Apparently one TV station actually did buy it and was about to reveal what they had found until Paramount's lawyers stepped in. Which although normally I'm rather opposed to lawyers, in this case I'm rather ambivalent about it; who wants to have the show spoiled for them anyway?
