just done a high security electronics collection, and to my absolute disbelief, i had several million quids worth of xbox games on the back of my lorry, namely call of duty modern warfare 2, and forza 3!!

i wasnt even allowed in the back to check the load, just told it was secured, and to drive, followed by 2 security vehicles lol

here i am waiting for MW2 on pre-order, and i was within a couple of foot of more copies than i would know wot to do with

 

How OTT

 

 

my dismay or the security?

 

the security

 

both

 

If they told me I couldn't check my load before moving off i'd tell them to jog on.

I don't think so.

 

Are you saying you dont think its OTT, or you dont think its several million quids worth?

 

the load only has to be moved about 2 miles, and my boss is there to check the loading, so that wasnt a worry of mine

a fair few of our trucks get hijacked in that 2 mile run though, and with good reason, Ł10m+ on a rigid 17t like mine, of easily sold on small goods, of course they are gonna be slightly paranoid

and i guess im just in the small minority who like call of duty then, how terrible of me lol

 

Only takes one copy to be leaked and before you know it it'll be getting downloaded everywhere and people playing it eary on flashed 360's, but obviously not me as i dont agree with criminal activity.

 

you must feel better knowing you have back up.........your job could be bloody dangerous..........

 

so every c.d in your car/home is original i take it?
pull the other one
and to the op i,m wating for MW2 can,t wait to be honest

garycameron feel free to add me mate

 

How can anyone say protecting millions of quids worth of stuff is OTT?!?!?!

 

our artics do similar trips with much higher value loads over much longer distances, and their security is even better!

3 of them left just before me with the same contents, and they have to travel in convoy, no stopping for any reason, and with a lead security car, a tail car, then a couple of unknown vehicles that even the lorry drivers arent made aware of. they dnt even have to stop for the police, they are made aware of the shipment and if its not a stop for an emergency, the police just have to join the convoy

but seeing as our transport office is wallpapered with police warnings of past hi-jackings, its all for good reason. otherwise u lot probs wouldnt ever get hold of pc's and tv's and such, they would all be robbed in transit!

 

No need to ask if you have seen fast and furious

 

Which company do you work for mate?
Rich

 

i work for Lloyds transport, but contracted to work for kuene & nagel, electronics central depot

and chip, the amount of times a day honda civics drive underneath me truck is gettin rediculous

 

Sorry, didn't think it was ott considering value of load.
Nicely handled into vans, not heavy or awkward, easy to sell on etc.
Would tempt someone who knew about it no doubt.

 

Nice got my Forza 3 today surprsingly! Would love to have had Modern Warefare as well as thats the other hot game of the moment and tbh prob my fav one out of the two.

 

we were doing a job at a bank in london (not a bank job, we were working inside) when a arctic came in with a single container on its back, they backed it in and then emptied all the silver ingots out of it, they were hundreds, that had no security bringing it to the bank and had come from europe somewhere, couldnt believe it????

 

a lot of the time, theres only security on the small goods, as they are the ones targeted to offload into cars and vans and sell on easily.

when im in rental trucks, i deliver computer servers, stil worth hundreds of thousands in some cases, and yet due to their size and custom build, nobody would really try and steal them

also, i dont actually know where im going each day until i get to work, so organising my own call of duty stealing hi-jack isnt an option

 

Not even for a few copys? lol Seriously that game is going to be very good!

 

knowing my luck i will be delivering crock pot slow cookers 2moro, just to make sure i dont get tempted

 

these tags are getting better.

 

pmsl

 

but guarantee whoever wrote the tags is currently off wanking themselves blind over the latest generation of gt38596756845 turbo about to hit the market, so i guess the world balances itself back out again lol
