[Financial Channel/Comprehensive Report] Huida Chip has become a favorite in the eyes of theft groups! A batch of Huida chips and hardware equipment worth up to US$11.4 million (approximately NT$375 million) mysteriously disappeared along with people and vehicles during transportation. U.S. police traced the truck and found that the truck had been parked strangely for several hours and finally disappeared in Southern California. What is even more suspicious is that the goods were taken away on August 29, and it was not until early September that the theft was discovered and the police were called. The whole case is full of doubts, and no one has been arrested so far.

The Mercury News reported that the case occurred on August 29, when six pallets of Huida chips and hardware equipment were originally scheduled to be shipped from Oakland, California to Fort Worth, Texas. A truck bearing the logo of a food transportation company carried the goods as planned. Unexpectedly, after the truck drove south, contact was suddenly lost, and the entire batch of goods disappeared.

After receiving the report, the police launched a pursuit and tried to restore the truck's driving route, but lost the clue in San Bernardino County in Southern California. The investigation also found that the truck had stopped several times before disappearing, each time lasting several hours, and its whereabouts were quite suspicious.

What’s even more bizarre is that this batch of goods had been taken away as early as the end of August, but it was not until the beginning of September that the relevant units noticed the abnormality and called the police, making it significantly more difficult for the police to trace. The police have not yet announced the arrest of any suspects, and the whereabouts of the stolen goods are still unknown.

In fact, this is not the first time Huida has been targeted by thieves. In 2025, police in Fremont and Union City, California, investigated multiple thefts of Huida goods, resulting in cumulative losses of more than US$7.5 million (approximately NT$250 million).

The police suspected at the time that some of the vehicles used by the suspects came from Southern California, and that the criminal group might travel across regions to the San Francisco Bay Area to commit crimes. Now that hundreds of millions of dollars of goods have been stolen again, the transportation safety of high-priced chips has also attracted attention.
