Not the truck hijacked, but one like it.
By men with eastern European accents. The driver was let go after 3 hours of driving around, and the 18-wheeler (!) was eventually found. Yeah, this wasn’t a hijacking of the van that comes to your office or home. FedEx is still trying to determine what, if anything, is missing.
This, of course, could also have been a dry-run to see how easy it would be to hijack an 18-wheeler. In New York. During Christmas. Why foreigners would want to do that, I have no idea.
Police investigate FedEx truck hijacking
NEW YORK (AP) — Hijackers posing as police commandeered a FedEx tractor-trailer loaded with Christmas presents and kidnapped the driver, but the would-be Grinches let him go early Friday and abandoned the rig full of packages, police said.
FedEx is trying to determine whether anything is missing from the truck, a company spokeswoman says. Six metal air freight containers stuffed with shipments were found locked in the 18-wheeler…
The heist began Thursday night on a Manhattan street as the truck headed to Newark, New Jersey…The driver told police he thought there was a third suspect as well and the men had heavy Eastern European accents.
They forced the driver face-down into the back of the SUV, told him to handcuff himself and drove him around for three hours before abandoning him in Brooklyn…
Sandra Munoz, a spokeswoman at FedEx headquarters in Memphis, Tennessee, said the truck was in police custody and the company could not immediately determine if anything was missing or estimate the value of the cargo. The truck can hold as much as 80,000 pounds when full.
No suspects have been identified and no arrests made.
sooner or later, we’ll get hit again.
Now we know how Islam will transport the nuclear bomb to kill one of our cities. Until then, half of the country will continue to delude themselves under the fantasy of “There is NO terrorist threat”.
Three hours?
A group of guys could disperse a biological agent into six shipping containers EASILY in that ammount of time.
“Surprise packages” from “The Religion of Peace”.
Times like this I kinda wish Jorge didn’t quit like 5 seconds after Kerry conceeded…
I know you can’t hear me, but I am screaming in my head, quite loudly now. It is simply a matter of WHEN and WHERE now. Frightening? No..Frustating story, damn right it is. Americans unite, it may be our last best hope..

Just one more “bumper sticker” to put on the back of the ol’ RV huh, Johnny boy. I say we resort to calling him the “ostrich” from now on.
Come on. This is old school, small time crew work. Trucks and cargo get pinched all the time. No worries. You don’t need to steal a truck to make a point.
