MSI RTX 3090 GPUs stolen
- Thread starter Quartz
- Start date
Somebody's possibly had a pallet of them away, this is a: not surprising given its a pallet in a supply chain of millions of the things carrying everything you can imagine and not, & b: not exactly crime of the century - the RRP of these things arguably is but that's another thread - frankly, I would not be surprised if,in actual fact, said pallet turns up on the wrong trailer in the wrong depot in a couple of days or so and they weren't "stolen" after all - logistics is like that, I know.

Not at all surprising, no doubt this will become a trend for criminals now unless more security can be hired to guard these pallets.

Serves MSI right. I call it Karma, that's what you get when you have sub divisions in your own company scalping.

Exactly. Coupled with the fire. I say that makes MSI even.
They were going to steal 6900xt also but could only find 4, so they gave up

That's amateur hour. Gangs are stealing PS5s from moving trucks 'Fast & Furious' style

They say its 2.2mln yuan based on a fact that someone said its “40 containers"
2.29mln yuan is aroud 300$ that is still just around 200 cards... So idk.. How are these informations spreading while being so inaccurate. 200 cards in 40 containers? What.. 5 cards per container?

These shipments should have armed escorts.
This is happening, we have had lots of 3000 series stolen and also some 5000 Ryzen too, it does not happen at OcUK HQ, but it is happening while goods are in transit and are either being stolen by couriers or targeted thefts, thankfully we are covered by insurance as are the board partners, but considering how crazy busy resellers and couriers are at the moment, it is just another issue adding more work.
