5 Dallas-area men hot-wired trucks to steal 654 guns from UPS lot, authorities say
UPS employees in Springfield, Mo., discovered on Oct. 29 that a number of Beretta firearms had been stolen from trucks on their lot.
The trucks had been parked back to back and blocked by other trailers to prevent access to the trailer doors, according to court documents, but "the thieves hot-wired two truck-tractors and used them to push and pull various trailers around the lot."

Six hundred .380-caliber handguns and 54 12-gauge shotguns had been stolen from the Beretta shipment.
Most of the guns were not recovered.

It's never a secret if anything valuable is in a truck trailer, there's always someone who says something to someone they shouldn't, and then stuff gets stolen. Thieves love to steal beer and TVs.
Authorities also used cellphone-tower records to link five North Texas men to the theft: Quinton Haywood, 26, of Glenn Heights; Keith Lowe, 28, of Dallas; Frank McChriston, 33, of Ponder; Derrick White, 32, of Arlington; and Eric White, 26, Arlington.
Really? Bringing your cell phone on a heist? It's a tracking device that sends data to a third party who can be served a warrant or subpoenaed.

The stuff you see out and about...
Or work at Bass Pro and know when such a shipment was due.
