I can't really imagine people wanting to hijack a truck that's basically a giant camera and tracking system.

Bring lots of aluminum foil to wrap it in.

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 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.

I'd pay to see that movie.

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

The resistance needs supplies!

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.
