CSX Eastern U.S. 3 17 Norfolk Southern Eastern U.S. 3 24 CARGO THEFT TRENDS Cargo theft is centralized around the intersection of major seaports, rail depots and interstate highways, such as in Southern California, Atlanta, Florida, East Texas, Chicago, and New England. High Risk States Modus Operandi State % Total Thefts Thefts are primarily perpetrated when a shipment is stationary and California 22% unattended and tend to target high value merchandise or non-serialized Texas 15% products for ease of liquidation. Typically the entire tractor and/or trailer are stolen while unattended at a truck stop or rest area. Pilferages, which Florida 9% have been increasing at a record pace, have been recorded outside of Illinois 9% destination facilities and can be indicators of a larger scale theft to come. Georgia 8% Resources Weapons Participants Location High Risk Products Technology; N/A 2-4 Males Truck Stops; Rest Areas; Inside Information Unattended Product Category % Total Thefts Electronics 17% Food & Drinks 17% Home & Garden 16% Miscellaneous 12% Building & Industrial 8% sensitech.com SCIC Global Cargo Theft Risk Assessment 2019 4 North & South America United States PERIPHERAL RISKS Overall Risk Rating: 4 CORRUPTION & ORGANIZED CRIME While organized crime dominates the cargo theft landscape, 3 corruption stemming from these organizations is minimal. WEATHER & NATURAL DISASTERS The U.S.’s varied geography and climate make for a wide variety of weather and natural disaster events, and less severe events are 4 having more severe impacts. WAR & TERRORISM There is no war and little to no large scale terrorism events that 1 disrupt the flow of cargo. LABOR DISPUTES While uncommon, labor disputes at key freight hubs such as sea and airports have caused disruption in the past and have the 2 ability to do so in the future. CARGO THEFT While not as prolific as in other areas of the world, the sophistication with which the U.S. cargo thief operates raises the 4 risk level. CIVIL UNREST While protests and demonstrations are frequent, they rarely block 2 the flow of cargo for any extended time. INFRASTRUCTURE Despite some areas of disrepair, the U.S. has the largest and most 2 expansive national highway system in the world. GENERAL OVERVIEW Over the last twelve months, the SCIC has observed the continued increase of thefts of Electronics and Mixed Retail loads as well as several instances of Pilferage breaking records for both volume and value. Additionally, the re-emergence of advanced, atypical theft types such as Fictitious Pickup is on the rise again. As newer cargo thieves are trained in these advanced methods, the SCIC expects these increases to continue. If the current U.S.-China trade war continues on its present path, the U.S. may see a shift in cargo volume to the east coast ports from Southern California. If so, cargo theft volumes will likely follow the density of cargo traffic. sensitech.com SCIC Global Cargo Theft Risk Assessment 2019 5 North & South America Canada SUPPLY CHAIN INTELLIGENCE CENTER LOW MODERATE ELEVATED HIGH SEVERE AT A GLANCE Capital Ottawa, ON Canada covers 3.9 million square miles to the north of the United Area States, with whom it shares its only land border.
