Thieves steal PlusAI trailers bearing Nvidia branding, find only sand inside

Two semi-trailers marked with Nvidia and PlusAI logos were stolen from outside PlusAI's Newark, California warehouse, but each contained 20,000 pounds of sand rather than GPUs. PlusAI, an autonomous trucking startup partnered with Nvidia, uses sand-filled trailers to simulate cargo loads during testing. The theft was discovered when a friend of a company executive spotted the trailers elsewhere and mistakenly congratulated them, prompting an investigation; the trailers were later found abandoned with their doors broken open.

PlusAI Trailers Stolen in Fremont, Found to Contain Only Sand

Thieves in Newark, California stole two trailers branded with PlusAI and Nvidia logos from outside PlusAI's warehouse, according to a police statement. The trailers, secured only with hand locks that were broken, actually contained about 20,000 pounds of sand each, used by PlusAI for simulated load testing rather than any valuable cargo. Police recovered both trailers with the sand intact, and no arrests have been made as the case remains under investigation.
