Instructions for preparing the Cargo Theft Incident Report
Note: The Hierarchy Rule does not apply to the incident of Cargo Theft. When a Cargo Theft is
involved in a multiple-offense situation, the reporting agency must report the Cargo Theft as well
as the additional offenses which occurred.

Cargo Theft Incident Report
This report should be used to report an initial Cargo Theft incident, to adjust information in a previously reported
incident, to delete a previously reported incident, or to report zero Cargo Theft incidents for the month.
A separate Cargo Theft Incident Report is to be submitted for each Cargo Theft incident.
Administrative Information
ORI: (Required) Enter the nine-character Originating Agency Identifier Number assigned to your agency.
Report Type: (Required) Select the appropriate radio dot to indicate the type of report as Initial, Adjustment,
Delete, or Zero as follows:
Initial - Select to report an initial Cargo Theft incident.
Adjustment - Select to update a Cargo Theft incident previously reported. (Note: This will delete the
information already on file and replace with the information provided in this report.)
Delete - Select to delete a Cargo Theft incident previously reported, which further investigation
determined was not a Cargo Theft.
Zero - Select to indicate that no incidents of Cargo Theft occurred during the given month. (Note: Must
include Zero Report Date in the format of YYYYMM.)
Incident Number: (Required for Initial, Adjustment and Delete Reports; for Zero Reports, leave
blank). Enter the identifying incident number. This is the unique number assigned by your agency to each
Cargo Theft incident. The number can be up to 12 characters in length and can be the actual case number or
a number assigned purely for UCR purposes. Valid characters include: A through Z, 0 through 9, hyphens,
and/or blanks.
Incident Date: (Required for Initial and Adjustment Reports). Enter 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" box.
Incident Hour: Enter the time in which the Cargo Theft incident occurred. Military (24-hour) time must be
used. Do not enter minutes. If the hour is unknown, leave blank.
Cleared Exceptionally: Check to indicate if the Cargo Theft incident was cleared exceptionally. (Note: If the
incident was cleared by arrest, the Cleared Exceptionally box must be blank). To clear an incident by
exceptional means, the following four conditions must be met:
1. The investigation must have clearly and definitely established the identity of at least one offender.
2. Sufficient probable cause must have been developed to support arresting, charging, and prosecuting
the offender.
3. The exact location of the offender must be known so that an arrest could be made.
4. There must be a reason outside the control of law enforcement which prevents the arrest, (i.e. death
of offender; prosecution declined; extradition denied; victim refused to cooperate; or juvenile/no
custody.)
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.”)

Offense(s): (Required for Initial and Adjustment Reports). Select each offense which occurred within the
Cargo Theft incident from the drop-down menu(s). Up to five offenses may be selected. The first drop-down menu
contains the following offenses which are specific to Cargo Theft and must be utilized first:
Bribery
Burglary/Breaking and Entering
Embezzlement
Extortion/Blackmail
Fraud: False Pretenses/Swindle/Confidence Game
Fraud: Credit Card/Automatic Teller Machine Fraud
Fraud: Impersonation
Fraud: Wire Fraud
Larceny: Theft from Building
Larceny: Theft from Motor Vehicle
Larceny: All Other Larceny
Motor Vehicle Theft
Robbery
The remaining drop-down menus contain additional offenses which may be selected after the first Cargo
Theft-specific offense has been identified.
Location: (Required for Initial and Adjustment Reports). Based on the Cargo Theft offense reported,
select the appropriate location from the drop-down menu.
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 weapons may be checked. If the weapon selected was an automatic
weapon, check the corresponding automatic weapon box.

indicate the type of victim(s) identified within the Cargo Theft incident. Check all that apply.
Property Information
Property Description: (Required for Initial and Adjustment Reports). Select the most appropriate
property description from the drop-down menu. For each incident of Cargo Theft, up to five property
descriptions may be reported. If more than five types of property are involved, the four most valuable types
of property are to be reported and the remaining types of property are to be combined and reported as
"Other".
Stolen Value: Enter the value of the stolen property in whole dollar amounts. Do not enter cents. Nonnumeric characters must not be entered. Up to five values may 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 which were coded as "Other" are to be
combined and reported as one total. If the value of the stolen property is unknown, enter "1".
Property Recovered: Check the corresponding box(es) 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 may 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. If the date of recovery is unknown, report
the incident date or date the incident was reported.
Recovered Value: Enter the value of the recovered property in whole dollar amounts. Do not enter cents.
