$1.7 million in PlayBooks stolen from a semi

That's one way to recover money from all the unsold playbooks. I'm sure the shipment was well insured.

I won one of these for free and it hasn't arrived yet, this must be why

I really wouldnt worry about it.

EBAY has new playbooks fire sale starting soon keep your eyes open lol maybe someone at RIM wrote down the serial numbers down and can track them?

They are only worth about the same as that crummy HP tablet...even a little less since there is no Android yet.

The truck had 22 pallets of PlayBooks, which is equal to about 5000 units. The tablets were coming from a distribution center in Ontario, Canada.

1,700,000 / 100 = 17,000 playbooks

5,000 x 100 = 500,000

So, they are claiming a $1.7 million loss on $0.5 million worth of product. Yeah...insurance fraud.
