A report in Ars Technica actually pegs a video game as a cause of deviance. It is ‘interesting’ to say the least.

The report, which can be read here, talks about how UPS employees are actually stealing the game from shipping boxes before they are due to be sent to customers.

This situation has apparently never happened before until this game’s release, further cementing the notion that GTA IV’s popularity has influence on people. What is also interesting in the article is the people who steal the games have no monetary motivation; they are only doing it for personal reasons. One possible reason? They are just as excited to play the game as gamers like you and I are.

The person who was being interviewed by Ars had an interesting way to close the story, saying “It’s kind of funny, isn’t it? It’s a game about theft, and people are stealing it,” He then added, “and I get to terminate them.”
