The Great Body Wash Heist | Such a Soap Opera!

The Departure 

Pallets of products being received at the Mirai Clinical warehouse, ready for storage and distribution.

It was a typical day at Mirai Clinical, bustling with activity as we completed a massive production run. On May 1, 2024, twelve pallets, loaded with over 16,000 units of our latest body wash, were securely sealed and loaded into a seemingly reliable truck. Our precious cargo was bound for our fulfillment center in Reno, NV, and we watched with satisfaction as the truck departed, eager to see our products in the hands of our loyal customers.

The Silence

At first, the absence of updates on the truck's location didn’t raise any alarms. It was common for trucks to arrive unannounced at the Reno center. However, as the days passed from May 2 to May 5, 2024, with no sign of the truck or check-in from the driver, a sense of unease began to creep in. Something didn’t feel right.

Rising Concerns

Our concern turned into worry. From May 6 to May 8, 2024, repeated calls to the trucking company resulted in more confusion than clarity. Each call ended with vague assurances or, worse, an answering machine. The tracking system, usually reliable, showed no updates since the truck's departure. It was as if the truck had vanished into thin air.

A Disturbing Discovery

On May 9, 2024, frustration turned to alarm. Fearing theft or an accident, we reported the missing truck to the local police. The officer's next words chilled us to the bone: "The truck’s license plate number seen on security cameras was reported stolen eight years ago." This revelation hinted at a premeditated crime, possibly an insider job or a hijack by organized criminals using falsified credentials. Our precious cargo had likely been stolen.

Rising from the Ashes (One Month Later)

Despite extensive investigations, the mystery of the missing truck and the 16,000+ bottles of body wash remains unsolved. The financial impact on our small business is significant, casting a shadow over us. However, our spirit remains unbroken. We are incredibly grateful for the unwavering support from our wonderful Mirai community during these trying times. 

 

6/12/2024 Update: Body Wash Discovered!

In a dramatic turn of events, the police unearthed a hidden cache of body wash bottles! The discovery sent a wave of anticipation through the air at Mirai Clinical—could this be the end of our ordeal?

However, our hopes were dashed as swiftly as they had risen; the bottles belonged to a different brand. This twist in our tale deepens the mystery, leaving us to ponder who might be behind this elaborate scheme and why they targeted body wash. The quest continues, as does our commitment to uncover the truth behind our vanishing shipment.

7/16/2024 Update: Our Body Wash Re-Sold By Criminal Organization

Warning message: Don't get tricked by the thieves. Image shows a fake Mirai Clinical body wash bottle with a 'FAKE' stamp.

Just when we thought the mystery couldn't deepen further, another twist has emerged. Our vigilant detective has uncovered a website selling our stolen body wash at suspiciously low prices. But that's not all—the site is a veritable treasure trove, listing everything from luxury yachts to exotic cars, and products available in multiple states and countries, including New Jersey, Illinois, Texas, Florida, California, and the Philippines, Indonesia, and Thailand. The scale and variety of the items have raised red flags, prompting a thorough investigation.

The detective advised us to inform our customers NOT to buy these products, as they could contain toxins harmful to the public. The investigation continues as we strive to uncover the mastermind behind this audacious heist. Stay tuned as we unravel more layers of this intriguing mystery.

I have posted a link to check trucking company’s safety ratings and current standings with the federal government. I’m sorry this happened to you. The trucking industry is just getting worse with many unsavory individuals from unethical parts who don’t necessarily do business the way we are used to. I hope things get better for you. Please contact me if I may be of service to you. We have been in the trucking industry since 1999. Best of wishes.
