Case Study: Anatomy of an Organized Cargo Theft

Jul 10, 2025  10:00 AM PT

Organized cargo theft is one of the most complex, costly threats in today’s supply chain landscape—and few people know how to stop it like Rod Fulenwider.

In this gripping real-world case study, Rod, Vice President of D&L Protective Services and co-founder of the International Supply Chain Protection Organization, walks us through how he and his team dismantled a high-volume theft operation targeting one of the largest logistics firms in North America.

With over 100 incidents and $4 million in losses on the line, traditional approaches weren’t enough. Rod and his team turned to creative surveillance, layered data analytics, and consumer-grade tech like Apple AirTags to do what others couldn’t: locate stolen cargo, identify the criminals, and break the theft cycle. You’ll hear how the investigation unfolded—from tracker hits to a confrontation at a seven-unit Oakland apartment complex—and how one suspect’s ankle monitor ultimately sealed the case.

This 30-minute session will deliver tactical takeaways for supply chain, security, and loss prevention professionals, including how to combine data, fieldwork, and technology to preempt organized crime. Stay for a live Q&A with Rod, whose experience spans the U.S. Navy, Pinkerton, Fortune 500 companies, and multiple federal citizens academies.

Whether you’re defending warehouses, fleets, or retail locations, this is one session you won’t want to miss.
