step 1: place package at very back of truck - preferably with 15-25% of total mass hanging off the bed, though no more than 30% as that would be cheating.

step 2: climb into cab & depress accelerator to the floor

step 3: stop truck & exit to collect fallen goods

& there you have it. the "proper" way to take possession of items that have "fallen off the truck".

There will be plenty of copies at your favorite big box store.

Actually, for a while, laptop thefts were the bigger concern for shipping companies. Several manufacturers made it pretty clear what boxes had laptops in them- and the size (easy to hide) and value density/ease of sale ratio made them a favorite target.

Although I think the shippers and manufacturers have adjusted their practices accordingly.

I don't get it. I mean, I'm sure you could get a few $$$ for the pre-released game on eBay... but there have *got* to be more valuable packages in the truck. Like laptop-sized boxes from Apple, for example.

I call shenanigans.

@Buran: well if the ups guy would have pre-ordered, apparently it wouldn't have made it through the mail anyhow. lol.

cmon ups man, hook me up!!!!

Oh good grief, the stupid are stealing one copy for their personal use. 3 employees were busted for stealing a total of 3 games.

End of story, time to move on.

@Buran:

Was advertised here for $59.99.

LOL worthy, be honest everyone.

How long before we get a Jack Thompson bitchfest, though?
