Nvidia hardware worth $11.4M vanished between Oakland and Texas
6 pallets of hardware vanished en route to Texas, with no arrests 2 months later.
A shipment of Nvidia hardware worth $11.4 million mysteriously disappeared during transport from Oakland to Texas earlier this summer, and despite extensive investigation, authorities have not made any arrests or recovered the cargo. According to The Mercury News, six pallets of undisclosed Nvidia equipment were loaded onto a truck in Oakland on August 29, destined for Fort Worth, Texas.
The vehicle was reportedly picked up as expected by a truck bearing the emblem of a food transportation firm before vanishing without a trace. The theft went undetected until early September, when the recipients became aware that the shipment had not been received. Police efforts to follow the truck's journey revealed that it made numerous multi-hour stops after picking up the hardware before ultimately lost somewhere in San Bernardino County, California.
Oakland police confirmed a grand theft report was filed on September 13, and the investigation continues. However, authorities have not disclosed the specific type of Nvidia hardware stolen or the method used in the theft.
