So a 40 foot by 8 foot trailer can be 
 
4 pallets if the pallets are a 4 foot cube.
 
x 10 = 40 pallets with around 60 cards  is 240 cards as a guess.
 
These are not for sale these are going to a mine. A quasi inside job .
 
Not evga the trucking company.
 
I grew up n NYC hijacking trucks are common place but most of the time they higjack a truck filled with energizer batteries.
 
No serial numbers and sell them to bodegas (mom&pop store)
 
Unloading marked cards with serial numbers is stupid… So I guess someone is running these in a mine.

…So I guess someone is running these in a mine.

If your guess is correct, then I would expect that these would eventually find their way into the second-hand market once the miner is ready to upgrade. So this wouldn't be discovered until a ways into the future and some unsuspecting buyer seeking warranty or parts will get a nasty surprise.

It would seem that the US and EU extended warranty conditions differ as the US version does not state that it is non-transferable, only that it is non-refundable.

No, they are exactly the same: https://www.evga.com/warranty/extended/.

Click my link and read it. Looks like EVGA’s got more than one extended warranty info page. That needs to be changed.

This is a legacy page that should no longer show on our website.  Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Which link is legacy? I assume the link that ObscureEmpyre listed?

Well, tell NVIDIA to create a bug in the next release of RTX drivers so that, if the device SN matches an entry within an encrypted blacklist, it just drops the LHC to 0. Or tell Microsoft to do the very same but just cast the infamous error 42. Once the GPUs is recovered, the blacklist is updated in the next release. 
 
Wait, neither MS nor NVIDIA seem interested? Do it from X-Precision. With an auto-report to EVGA headquarters.

I'm blind.  Thanks for the correction Scarlet

you just know these are probably on EBAY already......
 
I read a news report that thieves are targeting all the containers still sitting at the Ports also.... full of goods waiting to be trucked out to stores.

Yea I agree here, Smells like an inside job and my eyes would be looking at the ports, shipper (scheduler) or trucking company.  I'm assuming the cargo ship was rerouted from LA to the Oakland/SF port, to be trucked down to LA (assuming EVGA's distro center is in Brea?).
 
Someone with advanced knowledge of this must be in on it.
 
Broad assumption: If this was a 40' container (nobody in their right mind is shipping mini's right now), 16 pallets, 100 cards per pallet, median retail price = $1250 per card = $2 million dollar retail value. 
 
I don't think it will be totally easy to to offload these.  So frustrating (this hurts the entire community EVGA down to consumer) and I hope they catch the scum that did this.

Truck rip-offs  are a growing problem with more and more online shopping. Small good are often sold to bodegas and others who want in on the deals.
 

@philipma1957 you lost a zero while you were typing.  It would be 2,400 cards.
 
This problem is an increasingly common occurance.  Rail cars, trucks, storage centers, etc., are all having problems.

I have gone through and changed every reference to a GPU into a reference for a Shelby GT350. WHY would I do that, because if a car is stolen, you would have access to the VIN, once you got the car, and wouldn’t be able to register it because it was stolen.

You may be able to find someone that sends you the VIN, but it is incredibly unlikely that the seller would give you any information prior to sale if they know it is stolen.

If you know the vehicle is stolen, or find out when you go to register it, you would contact the police and the agency you used to purchase the vehicle to first report the stolen vehicle, and then provide proof to your banking institute that you were scammed.

Think of the big picture. Ford doesn’t send out a memo that the vin was stolen to every perspective buyer, even though people would want to know. This is exactly the same. You can change any part of this post I to any other product, and the result is the same. Refrigerator you bought from someone and you try to warranty it, but find it was stolen from a lowes shipping truck, the manufacturer won’t warranty a stolen product and you would need to contact police once you found out so that you can try to recover your funds and buy a legitimate product from an authorized retailer. It all applies.

You aren’t being shamed for being scammed, but if you find that you were scammed, you have to do the right thing or silently eat the loss..

That's a strawman. Ford doesn't keep track of their cars when they send them out to dealers and most times they don't know they're gone. I wouldn't buy an unregistered car in the first place, can't register them in my province and I need legitimate traceable paperwork at the time of sale to do so. So, the government takes care of that for me. I also have to physically take possession of a car from someone and I can check the VIN against the one they sent to me that I can check during the physical pickup. If they refused to send it before hand, no purchase because it's probably stolen. So this strawman is completely pointless, as I guess they all are. You can race to the bottom and be a car dealer or you can help your customers when you know a batch of serial numbers are out there waiting to rip off potential customers.
 
At any rate, EVGA clearly knows the batch of serial numbers that was stolen, so instead of being the morality police and warning us about the scary FBI if we traffic in stolen goods, list the serial numbers so some customers have half a chance of avoiding this in the first place. As I said, no one is going to get these cards at a discount. They're going to be sold at inflated price and people are going to think they are legit.
 
I wouldn't expect EVGA to warranty a stolen product but even if we do the right thing, we're eating the loss one way or another. EVGA can mitigate that and it would be good customer service, that's all.

Is there any information on how long this will push back the queue? I've been in for nearly a year so this hurts.

I'm 99.9% convinced my Kingpin card was on that truck.

It makes no difference to check the S/N against a published list or enter into the warranty check web page that EVGA provided. Either way you would need to get the S/N before making the purchase or check it soon as you receive the card. EVGA made it clear that they would not publish the list as they do not want to give the exact information out to the public, such as how many were stolen and what models. They clearly have their reasons for not releasing this information. However, everyone is capable of checking S/N. If a seller refuses to give the S/N then forward their seller page to EVGA. It's that simple...

The problem with honoring the warranty is that no one is going to bother turning in the seller for the stolen product. I have a feeling anything 3070 and above will end up in miner rigs and not on the Consumer market. They might even use them for mining themselves, even an array of 3060's can be profitable if you didn't pay for them.
Here's something I think we can all agree on
 
The only thing worse than a Scalper is a Thief ..... Well except a Thief that also Scalps his stolen goods

philipma1957
Also it would be nice to know what the cards were ie all 3060 and all 3090

The clue is the pricing in the initial information release: “These graphics cards are in high demand and each has an estimated retail value starting at $329.99 up to $1959.99 MSRP.”
 
Which would be the 3060 XC Black Gaming to the 3090 FTW3 ULTRA Hydro Copper and who knows what in between.

Of course the information release may have been just generic, i.e., lowest priced to one of the highest priced.  It really doesn't matter what SKUs they were as they are gone.
