Two large trailers prominently displaying Nvidia logos were stolen in California, only for the thieves to abandon the cargo roughly 800 meters into their getaway.
The culprits were after expensive AI chips, but the trailers actually contained 18 tons of test sand.
The trailers had large PlusAI and Nvidia logos affixed to their exteriors.
A senior PlusAI executive received a call from an acquaintance who said they had spotted the trailers near the company.
PlusAI said both trailers were recovered along with the sand inside, and the trailers themselves sustained no significant damage.
