The average loss value of U.S. cargo thefts increased during the second quarter of 2013 compared with both this year's first quarter and the comparable quarter a year ago, but the volume of thefts declined, according to FreightWatch International (USA) Inc.
The cargo logistics firm said in a report distributed last week that there were 194 thefts in the United States during this year's second quarter, including 45 in April, 66 in May and 83 in June.
