No salesperson who knows he is selling a stolen product will give you a serial number

Then I move on to the next buyer. Unfortunately, the person might move on to the next victum, but at least it made it harder for the seller to make the sale. Maybe he gets caught before he gets the chance to get another victom. Who knows? But at least, it helps someone.

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. 

They stole a truck with cards, they did not steal the machines that make the cards

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.

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...

I'm not going to lie. If I knew the card was one off the stolen truck I'd use that info to get a better price and be done with it. Oh no, I can't pay EVGA extra money for an extended warranty! Oh the horror! How will they inflate their profit margins if I don't pay them extra money for an extended warranty?
 
Too bad so sad for EVGA. I'd take my perfectly functional card and use it for the next 3-5 years as per usual and then buy a new card. If I had an issue with it, like I was an idiot and decided to play New World I'd be like dang, I shouldn't have done that. I guess I have to buy a new card sooner than I planned. Heck with this bad luck. I'll never get that $800 ever again. My life is quite possibly ruined because I wasn't able to register this card I bought for hundreds of dollars below MSRP and therefore couldn't pay EVGA $65 more for an extended warranty plus $50 for free cross shipping in the 0.7% event that my card is defective.
 
If anyone reading this is the people who stole the truck, DM me. Wink, wink.

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 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.

 
Thank you I was a bit sick yesterday. Feeling better today.
 
I think these are mining as I type and will never see the light of day. Well Maybe they hit ebay in 3 years time. So no one will bother with checking warranty. This does one thing it effectively ends my ebay purchases of evga 3000 series cards. (note I never purchased one)
 
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.

There goes my 3090 step up card. 😢. Were there any x570 Dark mobos in the truck? Waiting for that even more. Damn thieves! Sorry to hear this.

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.
