$11.4M in Nvidia hardware vanishes during shipment from CA to TX

Six pallets of NVIDIA hardware valued at $11.4 million disappeared during a truck shipment from Oakland, California to Fort Worth, Texas on August 29, with investigators losing track of the vehicle in San Bernardino County after it made several extended stops. The Oakland Police Department confirmed an ongoing grand theft investigation following a complaint filed September 13, 2026, though authorities have not identified the cargo owner, driver, or motor carrier, nor recovered any merchandise. The theft is part of a broader pattern of high-value technology cargo thefts in Northern California, with nearly $111 million in stolen data center freight reported across multiple incidents.
