If the hardware isn't numbered (or with secret ID numbers inside of it, maybe electronically on the firmware inside), the hardware could be sold separately while the discs are thrown in the trash.

Maybe these boxes were stolen for the hardware, so that could be sold off individually, and the discs are just going to be thrown out.

I'm not really familiar with Rock Band. Do people who buy the Rock Band box want extra instruments not included in the box (like an extra guitar)? If so, then there's a ready market for these stolen instruments.]]>Dec 13th 2007 9:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/thieves-hijack-truck-carrying-rock-band-steal-1-000-boxes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/thieves-hijack-truck-carrying-rock-band-steal-1-000-boxes/Dec 13th 2007 9:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/thieves-hijack-truck-carrying-rock-band-steal-1-000-boxes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/thieves-hijack-truck-carrying-rock-band-steal-1-000-boxes/

I dont think that it will be so easy to track them down though. I have a feeling that if it was the shipping company, they have easy access to trucks and are smart enough to just rent a private storage garage.

The boxes are obviously going on ebay in time for the holiday season. Thats for sure. They arent going to be keeping them in time for long, it would be to risky.

Also, why would they leave the driver alive? He could have easily seen a face or a license number, not to mention he would have an idea of what direction they were going in etc. I mean, they could just be stupid, but I would look towards the driver first.]]>Dec 13th 2007 10:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/thieves-hijack-truck-carrying-rock-band-steal-1-000-boxes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/thieves-hijack-truck-carrying-rock-band-steal-1-000-boxes/Dec 13th 2007 11:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/thieves-hijack-truck-carrying-rock-band-steal-1-000-boxes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/thieves-hijack-truck-carrying-rock-band-steal-1-000-boxes/Dec 13th 2007 10:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/thieves-hijack-truck-carrying-rock-band-steal-1-000-boxes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/thieves-hijack-truck-carrying-rock-band-steal-1-000-boxes/Dec 13th 2007 10:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/thieves-hijack-truck-carrying-rock-band-steal-1-000-boxes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/13/thieves-hijack-truck-carrying-rock-band-steal-1-000-boxes/
I don't wanna be a rat, but I know for a fact it was someone from Tony Soprano's crew.

They hang out at the Bada Bing!
