Love how you're giving "hint" on how capture goods in service; either you have: (1) done this, which brings into question why in the world you publicly mention this; (2) done or read about it, which if so, why not provide your sources; (3) done logistics related security, which should be stated; (4) a theorists. What exactly is your experience in the real world on the topic?

What's easiest?

- stop a truck on a highway; take the driver out of the truck; drive off.

- board a container ship; track the targeted container; steal the contents; leave with cargo in high sea.

Sources?

Sure, if you mis-frame it like this then the truck option looks better. But then, most crimes are actually really easy to pull off.

It's what comes after the crime that actually matters, and I feel like the whole 'escape with the booty' part could be much easier at sea.
