For potential buyers, the key takeaway is to ensure purchasing through legitimate channels for a secure transaction, after-sale serivce and product warranty coverage.
The Theft
In February 2025, a full trailer load of our VT007 vibration plates (1,100 units) was stolen from a warehouse in Renton, Washington, shortly after being unloaded at the Port of Seattle.
We immediately filed a police report with the Renton Police Department.
After about a month and several follow-up inquiries, we received a message from a detective that the Renton Police assigned to our case. He called to verify we were the victim cargo owner.
We provided detailed information about the theft, including relevant parties and their contact information, email and communications, and followed up with additional supporting evidence as we further discovered.
Stolen VT007 Sold on eBay
At the end of March, we received a report from a customer who purchased a VT007 on eBay, which we identified as from the stolen batch. The seller claimed that he had many of these machines available and provided photos. At that time, we were out of inventory due to the theft.
We discovered at least two sellers on eBay and one on Facebook offering new VT007 units consistent with the stolen batch. Their seller profiles indicated locations in the Los Angeles area.
We immediately reported our findings to the Renton detective. Because those sellers were in the LA area, the detective transferred our case to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department — LASD.
Not receiving any response from the LASD, we asked the Reton detective to get us connected to the corresponding LASD detective. He told us he could not provide that information according to their policy...
LASD Responded Briefly...
Three months later, at the end of June, we finally received an email from a detective from the Major Crimes Bureau of Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
He apologized about the delay and said he “intended to knock on some doors this week..."
At the time we discovered more listings of the stolen VT007 in more market places, including walmart.com. We provided these listings and seller profiles to the LASD detective.
Despite our continous efforts providing evidences that could help locate the thieves and recover our property, the LASD detective simply ignored our emails.
After a couple of weeks, he emailed to us: "I am off next week so I can take another stab at this the week of the 7th". That was the last message we have received.

Logistics Involved in the Theft
In January 2026, a California truck broker sent us an invoice asking payment for trucking a trailer load of VT007 from the Renton warehouse where the VT007 was stolen, to a warehouse at Chatsworth, California.
Came with the invoice was a document packet including Billing Ladings, Delivery Orders, Load Confirmation, and warehouse receipts etc.
Load Confirmation of Stolen VT007The Load Conifirmation indicates the delivery was made on March 2, 2025 — two days after the 1100 units of VT007 were stolen, providing the clear names, contact info and addresses of the trucker, shipper, consignee, and the warehouses.
We immediately transferred these information and the invoice packet to the Renton detective who immediately acknowledged and confirmed that he had transferred all those materials to the LASD.
No any response from the LASD, as of April, 2026.
It was almost funny that we the owner were asked to pay for transporting the cargo stolen from us.
This appears to be a mistake of the truck broker by sending out the invoice to us, but the irony is that those parties involved are real business names. Just like they are conducting regular business.
Thieves at Large, No Action by LASD
Into 2026, more and more stolen VT007 units are listed and sold across multiple internet platforms and social media.
Buyers are frustrated when realizing they purchased stolen commodities with no support and no product warranty.
As of April, 2026, still no any message from the LASD.
