UPS Employees Axed Over GTA IV Thefts

As it turns out, Grand Theft Auto does cause crime. Namely, people steal copies of Grand Theft Auto.
Ars Technica reports that over the past 24 hours, at least three UPS employees have been fired for ripping into shipments of Grand Theft Auto IV in an attempt to take a copy of the game home for themselves prior to its Tuesday release date.
Interestingly enough, the website's source says that this doesn't happen for ordinary big-name videogame releases, and GTA was an exception. But UPS does have security measures in place that snare employees looking to pocket packages, and they've caught far more than just the three who were summarily released.
"They're not selling them, these people are stealing one copy," said the source.

Doesn't surprise me one bit, this game usually brings all kinds out of the woodwork.

LMAO that picture is hilarious

Just noticed it was the PS3 version. Using my detective skillZ I can deduct that Niko bought a PS3 and did not have enough money left over to buy the game.

lol those bastards are always stealing stuff. Just yesterday we found out they moved our regular UPS guy cause his manager was f0cking 90% of the staff (truckers and all) so they had to spread everyone out. Now all those dudes wives and girlfriends are going there looking to kick her ass. lol At another location three guys were fired (close to my job, go there almost daily) for receiving and distributing marijuana at the location and elsewhere.
