Six Pallets of Computer Hardware Vanish During California-to-Texas Transit

Oakland police are investigating the disappearance of six pallets containing computer hardware reportedly valued at $11.4 million during shipment from Oakland to Texas in August 2026. The truck displayed a food transportation company's logo during pickup in Oakland and traveled south through California before investigators lost its trail in San Bernardino County. The vehicle made several extended stops lasting multiple hours before disappearing. The Oakland Police Department received a complaint on September 13. Police have not confirmed the merchandise's specific identity, valuation, owner, shipper, motor carrier or driver details. No arrests have been announced and no cargo has been recovered. The investigation remains open. The incident occurs amid a broader pattern of technology freight thefts. A separate $12 million cargo theft investigation involves suspects who allegedly exploited established trucking identities to obtain freight. Law enforcement has not linked the two investigations.
