  I’ve seen plenty of youtube videos to know people are dumb enough to try this.

  Really?

  Big box truck, no plate or other #s on the rear. Halloween masks for the crew.

  I think that’d work, no problem.

    If they unloaded the goods to another truck really fucking fast, maybe. Otherwise they’re just being recorded on top of a giant GPS beacon that’s alerting a system that something abnormal is happening so rally nearby law enforcement. It’d way easier to hold up a bookies, with a shotgun, Saul.

      You’re not wrong, but there are a lot of places in america where law enforcement presence is a long way away. Those places also typically have two lane highways and not much, if any, shoulder. That makes stopping the truck easy enough. Add to that the heavy presence of hideaways in the forests around, and you could jack a fair amount from a truck and shuck it into your box truck before skedaddling to a rural dirt road and all of its pullouts right quick.

  I dunno I can see it being done, go in first with a drone and blind the cameras one by one (not hard to rig it up with spray paint) then go in and grab the goods, pick an isolated section of the route so you’re gone by the time anyone comes looking.

  I for one predict a glorious era of road pirates.

  Bring lots of aluminum foil to wrap it in.
