Watched a YouTuber tonight who said his buddy had his trailer broken into in Memphis 2 days in a row. First a shipper and next at the Truckstop. I drove 3 years OTR all 48 and never had a problem and it wasnt too long ago. 2009-2011 I used to go often to The Pilot there in W Memphis never had any issues though it was pretty dirty. Have these gotten worse in last 5-6 years?
is Cargo Theft Common?

I don't think it's too common to have your trailer broken into like that.
What is relatively common is theft of entire loads. And it's much more common than the stats show apparently.
