Granted, I am no truck driver myself, but from my vast experience hitchhiking in the EU and former USSR and hearing stories from drivers, robberies or theft of cargo happen quite often at truck stops along the roads, most of which lack cameras or even much lighting. Other trucks may be present, but their drivers are usually sleeping and wouldn't intervene anyway, because who wants to risk their life for a stranger when all cargo is insured anyway?
