I have worked in the shipping industry (shipping as in ocean transportation). We had a very high rate of damage to pallets containing beer. A forklift clips a 6 pack on the corner breaking one or two bottles. Insurance pays out for entire pallet, stevedores go home with a lot of beer. Theft was considered a insurable cost of business. I am sure insurance rates were priced accordingly. I am also sure our rate of theft was no different to any other port in the country.
