It raised concerns that the material could have been stolen to make a dirty bomb, a conventional explosive that disseminates radioactive material. But Mexican officials said that the thieves seemed to have targeted the cargo truck with moveable platform and crane, and like didn't know about the dangerous cargo. Would be interesting to see the stats on similar hijackings of large cargo trucks in Mexico. Is this a common crime or unheard of; somewhere in between?

Very common. There is even a series of movies about it. "Lola la trailera"
You can buy them at Walmart.
