TREE NEWS reports: Police in Oakland, California, are investigating the theft of Nvidia cargo — AI chips and computer hardware — valued at $11.4 million. A truck carrying the shipment left Oakland on Aug. 29 bound for Fort Worth, Texas, but lost contact; the victim reported the case to police on Sept. 13. The truck made several stops of up to several hours before disappearing in San Bernardino County. No suspects have been arrested.

The theft highlights a physical security gap in the AI supply chain that is rarely discussed alongside digital risks. For Nvidia and its logistics partners, the incident underscores how high-value hardware in transit remains vulnerable to organized theft, even as demand for AI chips strains distribution networks. The open questions are whether this was an isolated case or part of a broader pattern targeting tech freight, and whether insurers and shippers tighten routing and tracking protocols in response.
