Food fraud is also rampant. Stuff like olive oil is commonly fake or much lower quality than advertised. Its something like 20% of all food items are fraudulent in some way or another.

I worked with an Insurer many years ago, produce and Nuts were one of their largest thefts. Easy to fence the goods when there isn't a serial number.

What's with Canada and heists? That's the second wikipedia article about a Canadian heist on this page. Is it just because Canadians are posting it, or is there a disproportionate number of interesting heists in Canada?

		I have no direct knowledge of this topic, however highway robbery is older than civilization! After watching some documentary episode about trucking in New Guinea, and watching lines of trucks dutifully entering scales in California with literally dozens of cameras and connected tracking info databases.. I suspect that there is a clear spectrum around every single major truck route around the world (minus Japan perhaps).

That is different type of scam though. My favorite is seafood - if you are buying already fileted and it is not salmon or tuna - there is solid chance you won't even get the same species.

Wage theft, insurance fraud, watered down gas...whole lot of Murica is a empty hope/hype rhetoric to distract from how half assed everything is.

Cut costs on effort to increase margins.
