Semi truck / trailer / container thefts are very common in that area, more so a few years ago. It's a snatch and run operation, and they usually don't even know the contents. They just hitch up and take them, and then fence whatever they manage to get.

This "heist" happened several years ago, but nothing was ever really publicized about it until about last year. Sounds like an odd deal to me.

Have people heard about what's possibly the mother of all bike heists? Two 40 foot shipping containers belonging to collector Leon Dixon (www.NBHAA.com) were stolen in Santa Ana, California. Not many of the bikes (which are world-class museum pieces) seem to be lightweights but everyone in the used bike market ought to keep an eye out.
