Instructions for preparing the Cargo Theft Incident Report
Note: The Hierarchy Rule does not apply when reporting a cargo theft. If a cargo theft occurs in
a multiple-offense incident, the reporting law enforcement agency must first report the cargo theftrelated offense and then up to an additional four offense(s).
Cargo Theft Incident Report
A separate Cargo Theft Incident Report is to be submitted for each cargo theft incident.
This form should be used to report an incident in which a cargo theft occurred, adjust information in a
previously reported incident, delete any incident previously reported, or report zero cargo thefts for the
month.
Administrative Information
ORI Number: (Required.) Enter the nine-character Originating Agency Identifier assigned to
your agency.
Report Type: (Required.) Indicate the type of report as Initial, Adjustment, Delete, or Zero.
Initial–To report a cargo theft incident.
Adjustment–To update a cargo theft incident previously reported. (Note: This will
delete the information already on file and insert the information provided in this
report.)
Delete–To delete a cargo theft incident previously reported, which further investigation
has determined was not a cargo theft.
Zero–To report there was no incident of cargo theft during the month. (Note: Must
include Zero Report Date in the format of YYYYMM.)
Incident Number: (Required for Initial, Adjustment, and Delete Reports; for Zero Report,
leave blank.) Provide an identifying incident number, preferably your case or file number. The
number can be up to 12 characters in length. Valid characters include: A through Z, 0 through
9, hyphens, and/or blanks.
Incident Date: (Required for Initial and Adjustment Reports.) Provide the date of the cargo
theft incident in the format of YYYYMMDD. If the Incident Date is unknown, enter the date of
the report and check the “Report Date Indicator.”
Incident Hour: (Required for Initial and Adjustment Reports.) Provide the hour when the cargo
theft incident occurred or started or the beginning of the time period in which it occurred (as
appropriate). Military 24-hour time should be used. If the Incident Hour is unknown, the hour
should be left blank. If the incident occurred on or between midnight and 0059, 00 should be
entered; if on or between 0100 and 0159, 01 should be entered; if on or between 2300 and
2359, 23 should be entered, etc. If the incident occurred at exactly midnight, it is to be
considered to have occurred at the beginning of the next day, as if the crime occurred at
1 minute past midnight.

Cleared Exceptionally: Indicate if the cargo theft incident was cleared exceptionally. (Note: If
the incident was cleared by arrest, Cleared Exceptionally must be blank.) To clear an incident by
exceptional means, the following four criteria must be met:
1. The investigation definitely established the identity of the offender.
2. There is enough information to support an arrest, charge, and turning over to the
court for prosecution.
3. The exact location of the offender is known so that the subject could be taken into
custody.
4. There is a reason outside of law enforcement control that precludes arresting,
charging, and prosecuting the offender, i.e., the offender is in the custody of
another jurisdiction.
In a multiple-offense incident, the exceptional clearance of one offense clears the entire
incident. (Note: An incident cannot be cleared exceptionally if an arrest has been made in
connection with the incident. The incident has already been “cleared by arrest.”)
UCR Offense: (Required for Initial and Adjustment Reports.) Enter the offenses of the five
most serious (as determined by the reporting agency) involved in the incident that was
determined to be cargo theft. The menu contains the offenses (listed below) that are specific to
cargo theft and must be one of the first offenses entered.
Bribery
Burglary/Breaking and Entering
Embezzlement
Extortion/Blackmail
Fraud Offense: False Pretenses/Swindle/Confidence Game
Fraud Offense: Credit Card/Automatic Teller Machine Fraud
Fraud Offense: Impersonation
Fraud Offense: Wire Fraud
Larceny/Theft Offense: Theft From Building
Larceny/Theft Offense: Theft From Motor Vehicle
Larceny/Theft Offense: All Other Larceny
Motor Vehicle Theft
Robbery
The remaining (four) menus contain additional Group A offenses that can be entered after the
first cargo theft-specific offense has been entered.
Location Type: (Required for Initial and Adjustment Reports.) Based on the cargo theft offense
reported, enter the most appropriate location from the menu.
Type Weapon/Force Involved: Check the appropriate box(es) to indicate the type of weapon or
force involved in the cargo theft incident. Up to three types of weapons/force can be reported
for each incident. In addition, if the weapon was an automatic firearm, check the applicable
automatic weapon box.
Victim Type: (Required for Initial and Adjustment Reports.) Check the appropriate box(es) to
indicate the type of victim(s) identified within the cargo theft incident. Check all that apply.

Property Information (An agency should report property stolen in its jurisdiction. Likewise, the
agency that reported the property stolen should also report the property recovered.)
Property Description: (Required for Initial and Adjustment Reports.) Check the most
appropriate property description from the menu. For each incident of cargo theft, up to five
property descriptions can be reported. If more than five types of property are involved, the
values of the four most valuable properties are to be reported; then, the total of the remaining
types of property that were coded as “Other” should be entered.
Stolen Value: Enter the value of the stolen property in whole dollar amounts. Do not enter
cents. Only enter numeric characters (0 through 9). Up to five values can be entered to match
the up to five property descriptions. If more than five types of property are involved, the values
of the four most valuable properties are to be reported; then, the total value of the remaining
properties that were coded as “Other” should be entered. If the value of the stolen property is
unknown, enter “1”.
Property Recovered: Check box if all or some property has been recovered.
Date Recovered: Enter the date the property was recovered in the format of YYYYMMDD. Up
to five dates of recovery can be reported to match the up to five property descriptions. If there
is more than one date of recovery for the same type of property, report the earliest date.
Recovered Value: Enter the value of the recovered property in whole dollar amounts. Do not
enter cents. Only enter numeric characters (0 through 9). (Note: The recovered property value
must not exceed the stolen property value.)
Offender Information (Required for Initial and Adjustment Reports.) (Note: If nothing is known about
the offender,”00” should be reported or provide applicable Offender Information.)
Unknown Offender Indicator: Enter “00” if nothing is known about the offender. If any
information about the offender(s) is known (number of, age, sex, race, or ethnicity), leave blank
and complete the age, sex, race, and ethnicity columns with applicable unknown codes. For
example, two offenders were seen fleeing the scene, but because they were wearing ski masks,
their age, sex, race, and ethnicity could not be determined. Enter 00 for age, U for sex, race,
and ethnicity for each offender.
Known Offender Information: Provide the following information about the offender. (Note: If
any offender information is entered, the Unknown Offender indicator must be blank.)
Age: up to five offenders can be entered. Enter the age of each offender either as an
exact number of years, a range of years, or as unknown as follows:
01 to 98 years old–Enter the exact age. If the exact age is unknown, an age
range can be entered. For example, a teenager 13 to 14 years old, the age
would be entered as 1314.
99 and over–Enter 99 if age is over 98.
00 unknown–Enter 00 if age is unknown.
