    Fraud Girl Season 2 Episode 23: How Arizona Plans to Stay off the Theft Charts

    Arizona isn’t just a pass-through state anymore. With more warehouses, distribution centers, freight corridors, rail movement, and cross-border routes, Arizona is becoming a much bigger player in the supply chain — and cargo thieves are paying attention. In this episode of Tell Me Everything, I sat down in Phoenix during TIA with Scott Cornell and local Arizona law enforcement to talk about what they’re seeing firsthand: Rail theft. Pilferage. Cross-docking. Metals moving through the state. Organized crews changing tactics. And the challenge of getting cargo theft treated like the serious crime it is. What I loved most about this conversation is that Arizona law enforcement isn’t waiting around for someone else to solve it. They’re building the Arizona Cargo Theft Association to connect law enforcement with brokers, carriers, shippers, insurance, prosecutors, and supply chain professionals. Because cargo theft does not get fixed in silos. If you move freight through Arizona — or honestly anywhere — this is an episode worth listening to. #CargoTheft #FreightFraud #Logistics #SupplyChainSecurity #Transportation #Trucking #TIA2026
