While we understand that public will do anything to become rock stars, we don’t really think stealing 1,000 copies of Rock Band is the way to do it — fame atop the Xbox Live and PSN leaderboards is so fleeting to start with. Regardless, it looks like a pair of thieves was desperate ample to hijack a truck full of Harmonix and EA’s hot new party game in LA last night, hold the driver at gunpoint, unload the gear and manufacture off with the goods. Police think it was an inside job, since the truck was unmarked and the driver picked up his cargo late Saturday

night — meaning the thieves must have known the truck was worth jacking, and already have had a place to unload the less-than-compact boxes. No leads yet, but looks like gamers in LA wanting to rock out that holiday season are going to have to start shopping out the back of shady vans, eh?
