The thieves who stole the trailer truck stand to make quite a bit of money.
The internal storage space of a large trailer truck is ~50ft long × ~8ft wide × ~9ft high, give or take.
The box containing each RTX 30xx card is at most ~1ft × ~0.5ft × ~0.5ft, give or take.
Assuming the stolen trailer truck could be packed end-to-end and floor-to-ceiling with cards, there could have been up to (50÷1.0)×(8÷0.5)×(9÷0.5) = 14,400 cards inside the trailer. That's the upper limit on how many cards were stolen.
EVGA RTX 30xx cards retail between $1000 and $3000 each, depending on the model.
Even if I'm off by a factor of 10× on the number of cards, we're talking about a fortune.
Where does it say that they stole a trailer's worth of GPUs? LTL is a thing[1], so it's totally possible that there's only a pallet or two of GPUs on board. If that's true, even a factor of 10 adjustment wouldn't account for your overestimation.
