XFX Theft?

I believe it so. I recently received an XFX newsletter stating that one of their limited edition 5970's was stolen. heres the full article:

Dear XFX Customers,

In light of recent events, we suspect that one of our HD 5970 Black Edition Limited graphics cards may have been compromised. In our current inventory check of this limited run of 1,000 individually serialised pieces, #68 is unaccounted for. We have evidence of a security breach in our facility, thus we believe #68 has been illegally obtained as the product has yet to be released. Please be aware that the person responsible will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. If any news can be provided to lead us to the apprehension of a suspect, or if you can provide us with any information, please report it to [email protected]. XFX will reward any information leading to the return of #68. Please do not attempt to buy, trade, or barter for this unit. We thank you for your cooperation and apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Sincerely,
XFX

It's marketing, there's a auction on ebay as well with the supposed card.

As already pointed out, it's just XFX playing at marketing themselves, of which they do a good job of.
