Or .. you could just transport it in an unmarked truck, but then there wouldn't be this perfect free marketing "opportunity".

It wasn't even that kind of a theft. They didn't like, run the truck off the road and steal the cargo or anything; they just posed as a scheduled relief driver and the prior driver handed them the keys, by my understanding.

That's why "conman" is short for "confidence man".

They talked someone into just handing over the keys to a truck by acting like they belonged.
