	*Copies of Uncharted 4* Stolen in Transit Sony is working with police to try and recover copies of Uncharted 4 that were stolen in transit.** When copies of Uncharted 4 popped up on eBay earlier this week, the assumption most people had was that a store had broken the game's street date. Apparently, the explanation is actually a bit more interesting than that. In a post on the PlayStation Blog, Sony's Shuhei Yoshida reported that a number of copies of the upcoming game were stolen in transit, and that the police are now involved. Sony is cooperating in the investigation. Yoshida went on to say that Sony wants to protect fans from spoilers, saying, "Please rest assured we will be very vigilant to protect you from this as far as we can so you can enjoy Uncharted 4's experience to its fullest on May 10th." Naughty Dog Creative Director Neil Druckmann echoed that sentiment on Twitter. Uncharted 4 is just two weeks away! As we get closer it'll get harder and harder to control leaks. Stay vigilant. Big surprises in store.— Neil Druckmann (@Neil_Druckmann) April 26, 2016 Uncharted 4 is scheduled to launch on May 10 for PS4. Permalink

	In hindsight, we probably shouldn’t have put the word “thief” in the game’s title https://t.co/ZsSaE21Ayd— CEO Kaz Hirai (@KazHiraiCEO) April 27, 2016 The best possible answer was already written...

HAHAHA! Wow, yeah that's pretty much sums it up. I'd like to hear more details of the theft though. Did they have video footage? Did they escape via helicopter? Train? Speedboat? Car chase? Moose?

I'd understand if it was "Uncharted 4: Thieves Are Cool and Always Get Away With It"

	Well that's irony, right there. No honour among thieves. Fictional and non fictional.

I'd understand if it was "Uncharted 4: Thieves Are Cool and Always Get Away With It" maybe it's an act of defiance.

	I can't tell if the gallery is from the game or if it's pictures of the heist.

	Didn't this happen with Uncharted 2, or should I be taking brain pills?
