A strange incident occurred at a warehouse of a self-driving truck developer when attackers hacked into the locking system and took away two semi-trailers. A flashy collaboration with graphics giant Nvidia attracted thieves looking to profit from valuable tech components, but all that was found inside was a bag of ballast used for road testing.
The reckless theft was revealed hours later, thanks to the alert of an acquaintance of one of the company’s top executives, who sent photos of parked cars from a neighboring city. An operational team who arrived at the scene confirmed the property was safe before police returned the van to the owner, leaving the disappointed thieves with nothing.
Such bizarre incidents rarely happen without the intervention of bystanders, who turn daring robberies into comedic situations. Law enforcement agencies continue to search for the suspect by studying surveillance video.
