‘Tis the season for festive lights, joyful gatherings, and unfortunately, an uptick in cargo theft. While the holiday season brings a surge in shipments, it also attracts opportunistic thieves looking to intercept vulnerable packages. According to a report from CargoNet during last year’s holiday season, 176 thefts resulted in a staggering loss of over $6 million between December 23 and January 2.
Thieves’ Wish List: What’s at Risk?
The top items on every thief’s wish list last year included household goods, food and drinks, and electronics. This holiday season, high-end apparel, televisions, and the hottest toys will be prime targets. Items subject to purchasing shortages, which have affected families earlier this year, are particularly attractive to thieves looking to capitalize on the gray market.
