I work for a railroad that was featured on an episode of Cops! way back in the day. A sting was set up outside an intermodal terminal in NJ. The driver would pretend to break down. While he was checking under the hood, people would run up to the back of the truck, break the seal (a crime in and of itself) and grab the empty boxes. In one case, the truck hadn’t even come to a complete stop. The police would come out of a hidden door to apprehend as many as possible. The funny part is that the thieves didn’t even realize they were running off with things like empty VCR boxes, which tend to have some weight to them.
