Microsoft moved its company management division and backup copies of records to Humacao in Puerto Rico several years ago. Discs of programs such as Microsoft XP, Office and video games published by Microsoft Game Studios (Halo, Forza, etc) were too moved there.
A few days ago a rumour circulated that some records of the Reach Halo Microsoft factory had been taken, and were being sold on the street.
According to the rumour, several of the people who bought the records from the black market then played the game online on Xbox Live. These players were then tracked, and federal agents soon arrived at their households accompanied by personnel of Microsoft, requesting that they return the game and inquiring about the means in which they obtained it.
The rumour has been confirmed by an anonymous source within the FBI, who contacted the website PRAG.

tsk tsk tsk, to have this product stolen so easily is a shame, microsoft needs to crack down on their security of their merchandise and make sure it's always secure, especially a game such as Halo Reach.
on another side note:
epic fail to the buyers of Halo Reach, didn't they know the risk of playing a highly anticipated game like this b4 it's release date would raise a BIG ASS RED FLAG on their account? serves them right for buying an illegal copy of Halo Reach, ppl need to respect the company that make these games, they put a lot of time and money into these games, show them respect and buy the game legit when it comes out.
