More than $18 million of cargo was stolen in the United States in the fourth quarter of 2014, according to new figures from CargoNet.
Food and beverage items were the most stolen commodity and accounted for 24% of cargo thefts, with alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages the chief targets in that category.
Not surprisingly at that time of the year, electronics constituted the bulk of the loss value.
More than half of the thefts occurred on weekends.
