During the last two years, there has been a great increase in goods stolen abroad.
If they steal the entire package, that would be theft. So they don't do that. Generally, thieves open the case and take part of the contents out. Then fill the case so that the gross weight will be the same.

Is it true that products of high value such as watches, jewels and luxury clothing items are often subject to pilferage?
It's absolutely true in the United States that losses from pilferage have been limited to high valued goods. We must study more about packing.
