Truck Carrying $1.7 Million Worth of BlackBerry PlayBooks Gets Stolen [UPDATED]

Posted by Techvibes Newsdesk on 2011-12-16 4:14:00 PM

A driver transporting 22 pallets of Research In Motion tablets from America to Ontario had his truck—and $1.7 million worth of BlackBerry PlayBooks—stolen.

The grand theft auto occurred while the driver was stopped at the Pilot Travel Center off State Road 67. With no tracking device on the shipment and no suspects on police radar, it's going to be a challenge to recover the 5,000 mobile devices. Police are investigating for clues and have summoned the Interstate Theft Task Force for assistance.

(Good luck to whomever tries to sell them. RIM couldn't do it.)
