Reply With Quote4,704 units - that's many Playstation 2 consoles. Just as well those thieves were caught. A lot of money would have gone down the drain otherwise.

PlayStation thieves located through GPS
via joystiq
A $1 million AUD (approx. US $880,000) heist of PlayStation 2 consoles in Australia was foiled by the power of GPS. According to the Sidney Morning Herald, a truck fitted with a GPS tracking device and containing 4,704 PS2s was stolen. Police used the tracking device (and magic -- no, not really) to locate the stolen truck and consoles.
Four men have been charged for the theft. Let that be a lesson to you would-be robbers and delinquents: leave it to the pros.

I'm sure it's something similar to a LoJack. You don't actually see the unit so just how would they know? Originally Posted by cswallstreet
