Road Scholar Transportation

2010 marked a new year, new beginnings, and new…theft?

Stolen cargo is increasingly becoming a problem, with the total number of hijackings rising 5% between the months of January to June, according to an article on truckinginfo.com.  This increase continued over from last year, where there was also a rise in stolen goods.

So what’s the difference between last year and the current day?  Simple, the aims are more directed and specific.  Thieves know exactly what they want and how profitable it will be.  The two biggest targets are proved to be ‘multi-trailer thefts and large scale warehouse burglaries” (http://www.truckinginfo.com/news/news-detail.asp?news_id=71117).

How bad exactly is theft this year?  Think of it this way, the largest amount of cargo stolen that is known to date occurred this year when Enfield, Connecticut encountered $76 million taken in goods, truckinginfo.com notes.
