Cargo containers left busted open on trains,\u201d photojournalist John Schreiber tweeted. \u201cI\u2019m told by law enforcement these @UPS bags are especially sought after by thieves opening cargo containers\u2026 they are often full of boxes with merchandise bound for residential addresses.

The thieves use this opportunity to break open containers and take what\u2019s inside. I\u2019d say every 4th or 5th rail car had opened containers,\u201d Schreiber continued. \u201cMissing a package? Shipment delayed? Maybe your package is among the thousands we found discarded along the tracks. This is but one area thieves have targeted trains.
