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 sucks that this happened. But, in order for a prosecutor to prove one is guilty of receiving stolen property, two things must be established..
-The defendant bought, received, sold or aided in selling, concealed or withheld property that has been stolen from another
-AND when the defendant did this, he or she knew that the property had been stolen.

There is facebook marketplace ad for 'any quantity evga cards'. The mods dont allow me to post the link here.

Since I am in SoCal I did notice a few local ads in OfferUp for 3080ti and 3090 cards that were from $900-$1000. People responded quickly offering same day delivery.

OfferUp usually has cheaper prices than the FB marketplace and eBay, based on my observation. However, that usually pertains to used cards, like from the 2000 series. If there are EVGA 3080 Tis and 3090s going for around $1K, I’d be suspicious if those even if they aren’t from the stolen shipment.

Definitely fishy since 3080Ti's go for $1400+ around here and the 3090 nowhere under $1800. Their accounts were created just in October and November of this year so likely scams or stolen.

If it is as you say then I will never get a warranty extension from EVGA because I never keep anything for more than two or three years I upgrade to new series and sell my used ones.

Does it mean I will not receive my RTX 3060 XC Black(MSRP $329.99) that I received notification and paid today?

PLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE that under state and Federal law:

• It is a criminal and civil offense to “buy or receive” property that has been stolen. Cal. Penal Code section 496(a).
  

Every person who buys or receives any property that has been stolen or that has been obtained in any manner constituting theft or extortion, knowing the property to be so stolen or obtained

This feels like victim blaming on behalf of EVGA. If I buy a stolen card and I don't know it's stolen, that makes me a victim too! Buying second hand or even 'new' from any site these days is not unheard of given the short supply of these cards. I've been trying since May to buy any RTX 3060. The closest I've gotten is walking into a store only to have the card sold 10 minutes before I got there (no phone holds!). If I pay regular price or more online for a card, how am I suppose to know it's stolen? Now that EVGA knows these cards have been stolen, they should either publish the serial numbers or make a page available where serial numbers can be entered to see if they are valid. That way I can ask an eBay seller to send me a picture of the serial number and I can check to see if it is stolen. Problem solved. With the low supply, these cards could also end up on the shelf of a local computer store, they aren't always the most reputable.
 
Possession of a stolen good is only illegal (at least in Canada) if I am in possession of it KNOWINGLY. A reasonable person would have to have reason to believe the card is stolen. No one is paying below market value for these cards. No one is going to know these cards are stolen. The scalpers are making sure of that with there inflated prices. Even sites like Newegg are allowing scalpers to sell at inflated prices.
 
EVGA is certainly alienating me as a customer, just reading through these forums have made me think twice. I guess that's my fault, too?
 
What a crappy post to read this morning, being scolded and warned that possession of stolen property is illegal. Thanks for the legal advice, not like anyone here would know they purchased a stolen card anyway.

nomossA buyer who purchased in good faith goes to his own local police, and works with them.  That police office will contact EVGA to return the property.

How about "Bona fide purchaser"? Also it EVGA got insurance payment, GPUs not their properties anymore - in this case insurance company will have rights on recovered GPUs.

Again, not how any of this works.  You cannot legally keep stolen property, once it is known to be stolen.  The buyer goes to the police to file a report and can then take that report to the seller to get a refund.  If the seller refuses the refund, then the buyer can sue the seller.  Alternately, if the buyer used a CC and it's within the time frame, the buyer can take that police report to the credit card provider to initiate a chargeback.
The GPU goes to an evidence room and will eventually be returned to EVGA.  It IS legally EVGA's property at this point.  If EVGA has (and this is an if, because all this insurance talk is just forum spin) received a payout from the insurance company, maybe they have to deal with them.  But, in all likelihood, the GPU will be destroyed or perhaps remanufactured because EVGA cannot sell it as a "new" product once it has been stolen and cannot guarantee that it has not been tampered with.  
And I have my own anecdotal evidence because I was a sales manager at a store where iphones got stolen and had to deal with much of this myself, in coordination with our fraud department.  Which doesn't make me an expert by any means, but at least I'm not spinning stuff off the top of my head trying to make EVGA look bad somehow.
