Thieves Steal Nvidia-Branded Trailers Expecting GPUs, Find Sand Instead
A pair of Nvidia-branded trailers were stolen from autonomous trucking company PlusAI but contained no valuable chips as expected. The cargo was found to be sand used for simulating weight during test drives. This unexpected discovery likely prevented the theft of high-value goods and may have been a deliberate strategy by PlusAI to deter thieves or scalpers. The incident highlights an unusual approach in asset protection, using inert materials like sand instead of actual hardware. While no financial loss was incurred from stolen GPUs, this event could influence how companies secure valuable equipment during testing phases.
