At least 10 heists targeting BNSF freight trains in remote areas of the Mojave Desert since March .

Many of the shoes were Nigel Sylvester x Air Jordan 4s , which won't be available to the public until March 14 .

Thieves typically scout merchandise on rail lines that parallel Interstate 40 by boarding slow-moving trains.

BNSF says its crews are instructed not to confront thieves, but to report the incidents instead.

Cargo thefts from trains, trucks and ships are a problem in shipping hubs across the country.

The company says the crews rarely encounter them, because the trains are so long and the thieves take care to evade detection.
