If you think that headline sounds as though it should have come out of a ‘Police Academy’ movie, then check this out: According to Britain’s Daily Telegraph, thousands of Playstation 3 games — cumulatively worth over a million dollars — were stolen over the weekend from the back of a truck in Northhampton, England. The truck and its contents were recovered, but amazingly the games were stolen again, right out of a police impound area before anyone had managed to dust it for fingerprints.

The truck contained 17,000 copies of ‘Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway‘ and an undisclosed number of copies of the game everyone loves to hate, ‘Grand Theft Auto.’ Details of exactly how the crooks managed to get away with it all a second time weren’t disclosed, but the truck at least was found — minus the valuable contents, naturally. Police are now on the lookout for a conspicuous number of the games showing up on eBay and other online auction sites, but after this bungle, we aren’t expecting much. [From: The Telegraph]
