That's a lot of assumptions, Nick.  That's not how it works.

Such a shame that it happened :/ Hopefully they manage to recover them - BEFORE some unwitting victim buys them.

Tell me how it works.

One thing's for sure: DO NOT BUY GPUs ON EBAY or similar marketplaces - you may end up with a GPU with no warranty, and the police at your door to retrieve the stolen property.
 
 

Where else are you going to buy from, I've been on their queue more than a year ago and still haven't got any notification. It's almost impossible to but from retail. I guess I just have to avoid buying EVGA product.

I'll tell you how's gonna work.     Evga get payout from insurance and won't warranty any of the cards.        And the ppl who did this will most likely sell them overseas to miners.    They won't use the warranty anyways.    EVGA can't ban GPU from mining FYI.       Congrats EVGA, Congrats the team pull this off.   Who cares about gamers. 
 
Oh.    ARE YOU SURE IT WASN'T AN INSIDE JOB DONE BY EVGA ?   MSI ALSO "LOST" 40 BOXES OF 3090 FROM FACTORY.   YEA RIGHT .

Sure.  EVGA works with the police who are handling their report of the theft from the truck.
A 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.  EVGA will connect that police office with the police office handling EVGA's original theft case.
At no point do Jacob and Peter hop in the Mystery Machine to engage the buyer or confront the seller.  That's what the police (and potentially FBI) do.  They also don't decide to suddenly tell the police to drop the case, because "insurance will pay for it."
Your anecdotal experience with a $100 loss at a bank has nothing, at all, to do with this situation.
Now, I'm sure you're an expert on this as you are with all things, so I look forward to you telling me why that's not at all what happens, because of an anecdotal story about the time a friend gave you Bubble Yum that didn't really belong to him.

So why did you take cards away from San Francisco?   Could use them up here too yanno,  especially since I'm so (im)patiently waiting for my queue email.

whosoever has stolen can mine on these cards and will never get caught.
