Anecdata: a fellow driver told me the story of a truck stopped at a light in "a bad part of town." Thieves rushed the back of the trailer, cut the lock and opened the door, just in case there was something worth grabbing.

Another, parked overnight with a load of electronics at the southern boarder. He woke up and discovered the trailer had been broken in to. Yet it didn't seem anything was missing. Maybe something "extra" had been placed on the trailer before it crossed in from Mexico?

In our company we're reminded when we'll travel through high theft areas.

If we're pulling a trailer designated as "high value," wherever we are, we're not allowed to pick it up unless we have the fuel and legal hours to go at least 200 miles before we stop.

My vague point is that every security move in history and to come can be defeated, if it's worth it to someone. And it's always with it, to someone.

But it does seem plausible that gait analysis could lead to a suspect, who could be convicted (or more likely, plead out) on additional evidence discovered during an investigation.
