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."

    why is this on Slashdot?
    Indiana Jones isn't really a geek movie, or more precisely, part of the Geek culture.
    Yes, it id a good movie, but Star Wars and Monty Python are entrenched in geek culture.

    Is it because computers were stolen?

    Please don't play the 'Stuff that matters' card. Clearly in the sentences "News for nerds, stuff that matters" applies to stuff that matters to nerds specifically as a group. Otherwise it carries no meaning.

    OTOH, I'm sure there isn't any technical/nerd stuff going on in the world.

    .. Steven Spielberg was upset that someone also stole his bottle of Extra Tangy Diet Fudge Raisin Tartar sauce.

    I think the $2000 is what hits most people when they read the summary. This must have been a opportunist as opposed to a planned robbery. Reading the story and others related it looks like it was only after the thief discovered "what he had" that he started to look for a buyer.

    Updates state that the thief was quickly caught when he started offering the stuff for sale. Stories indicate that non of the upcoming movie info was lost either so this overall is no longer a story. The only story is the screw up and missed opportunity of the thief.
