STUDY RELEASED * USA - Results of cargo theft one
Overland Park,KS,USA -Refrigerated Transporter -Apr 10, 2009: -- LoJack Corporation, a provider of wireless tracking and recovery systems for mobile assets, has released the results of its first annual cargo theft study. It reveals that “cargo theft is a serious, ongoing problem that is very profitable for professional thieves and very costly for organizations throughout the supply chain.”... The report is based on information the company collected and analyzed from its members in 2008 via Lojack’s Supply Chain-Information Sharing and Analysis Center (SC-ISAC). The center is the only source for information and analysis sanctioned by the government that helps the supply chain community and law enforcement protect the supply chain from illegal and disruptive activities, such as theft, terrorism and natural disasters... Bassed on reported incidents of theft, the most common locations where cargo was stolen last year, in order, were: truck stops, parking lots (including drop yards), and facilities... The states with the highest incidents of theft were, in order, Texas and Georgia. Alabama and North Carolina had the least amount of cargo thefts... Food was the most often stolen cargo, the study found, followed by pharmaceutical/medical and building supplies. The greatest number of thefts occurred on weekends...Labels: cargo theft
