Oakland police are investigating a grand theft complaint after six pallets of Nvidia computer hardware, valued in trade reporting at $11.4 million, disappeared from a shipment booked from California to Texas, FreightWaves reported¹.

A truck collected the load in Oakland on Aug. 29 for delivery to Fort Worth, according to the outlet¹. Investigators later lost the vehicle's trail in Southern California, it said¹.

The Oakland Police Department told FreightWaves it is investigating a grand theft in East Oakland after a victim reported the crime on Sept. 13, 2026¹. The department said the investigation is ongoing and asked anyone with information to contact its General Crimes Unit¹.

FreightWaves, citing The Mercury News, said the pickup vehicle displayed a food transportation company's logo and that the driver headed south with several stops lasting multiple hours before the truck was last tracked in San Bernardino County¹.

Police have not confirmed the $11.4 million figure or identified the specific merchandise, FreightWaves reported¹. Authorities also have not named the cargo's owner, shipper, motor carrier or driver, and they have not announced arrests or a recovery, the outlet said¹.

The Sept. 13 complaint date does not establish when any theft occurred, FreightWaves noted¹. Investigators have not publicly explained the extended stops or said whether someone impersonated a transportation provider¹.

FreightWaves said it contacted Nvidia for comment and followed up, and that the company had not responded¹.

The outlet placed the case amid other high-value technology cargo thefts, including its own reporting on data-center freight losses, a separate $12 million cargo-theft case involving alleged hijacked carrier identities, and 2025 burglaries of Nvidia products in Fremont and Union City¹. Authorities have not linked those matters to the Oakland investigation, it said¹.
