Cargo theft is estimated to cost the U.S. $15-30 billion a year....

Highly organized teams of thieves have turned to domestic cargo theft as an
alternate source of revenue. These revenues help strengthen their organizations
and in some cases, are believed to help fund terrorism. These teams typically consist
of dock workers, truck drivers, financiers and sales brokers. Commonly, they work from the inside which makes it difficult for companies of all sizes to protect themselves.

Thieves' favorite targets are electronics, computers, clothing, drug supplies and cigarettes. A trailer of cargo worth $130,000 might be sold to a middleman for
$20,000 to $25,000, who then sells it to a retailer for twice that. In addition,
through the aid of technology, many online auction sites are unknowingly serving
as a channel for stolen goods and many websites have been set up for the sole
purpose of fencing pilfered merchandise.

In the end, we all pay the price for theft. Cargo theft adds approximately 20 percent to the price of a computer and 5 percent to the price of a designer shirt. In addition, the processing of cargo claims raises our transportation cost and insurance rates.
