We wrote a story yesterday about more than 1,400 Playstation 2’s stolen from a tractor trailer in Florida, USA. Well, after contacting Brian Kurtz trucking and speaking to one of their representatives who said that there was 50 Playstation 2 consoles per pallet, the story has been corrected. Apparently there was more than 1,400 Playstation 2 consoles stolen – it is more around 5,000 which has an estimated street value of about $750,000. Robert Arden Fisher, 61, told Lopez that he parked the rig in the rear parking lot of BJ’s Wholesale Warehouse, located at 1155 Palm Bay Road in Melbourne, at 1:30 p.m. Saturday and then went to visit a friend in Palm Bay.
Lopez said Fisher told him that when he returned at 7:15 a.m., he found that the rig was missing and immediately contacted his company and authorities.Fisher told Lopez the trailer was secured with a U.S. Customs lock and a personal padlock. He said the truck itself also was locked. The rig was described as a royal blue 2007 Kenworth T2000 bearing Ontario registration, valued at $150,000, according to Brian Kurtz Trucking. The trailer is a white with blue trim Stoughton semi-rig valued at $50,000.
The final GPS signal showed the rig was in the vicinity of a baseball field parking lot near Seminole Platt Whitney Road and East Downers Drive, a police report shows.
