How to steal an iPhone from a moving track is a simple method of attaching a van behind a targeted truck and going out of the car from the roof of the van and approaching the truck from the bonnet. Necessary personnel are one driver to drive the van, one person approaching the truck from the bonnet hitting the roof of the car and laying a non-slip mat. Personnel on the bonnet need to destroy the rear door of the truck with a dedicated device, enter the truck and steal the iPhone. Furthermore, since one person waiting on the van also needs one person, it seems that theft is possible with a minimum of three people.

Since the van is traveling so as to be hidden behind the truck behind the truck, it seems that the driver of the truck is stolen as well as the existence of a van that runs just behind it. Also, in addition to stealing vans, theft involves using one car to slow down the truck, one or two cars to prevent the truck driver from changing the lane.

In addition, theft is mostly done at night to avoid the visibility of the van and to avoid witnessing other drivers. In addition, it seems that the theft was mostly a road between Daifen and Eindhoven and a road between Daifen and Daifen.

EDAccording to that, this method of putting a car on the back of a truck and working for theft is called "Romanian method". Starting from the place where the truck driving in Germany got damaged in 2008, after 2014 it has reported similar theft damage by way of Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands. However, it is unknown at the present time whether it is only the group arrested this time that the robbery is working with the Romanian method, or whether it is adopted by multiple groups.

In May 2012, the Romanian Police are photographing the crucial moment of stealing in the "Romanian method" from the helicopter, and you can see how this theft is working by looking at this picture.

Expensive electronic devices such as iPad and iPhone are the biggest targets of these kinds of theft and gang often seems to attack shipping companies carrying goods for electronics manufacturers. The police seems to have little knowledge of which group is targeting what kind of cars, but the gangs consider listening to the conversation between the drivers at a truck stop and considering where they are going I guess it is on.

The iPhone found in a hideout is said to have been stolen on July 24th and the criminal seems to be a man from 33 to 43 years old.
