Have there been any reported instances of Waymo cars being stolen?

Disabled and then loaded into a lead-lined trailer or something.

I imagine the IP running locally on the cars is worth billions.

I doubt Waymo would publicly talk about this if it did happen.

I also doubt the IP is worth that much. Most of the secret sauce to starting a competitor probably isn't an end model tuned for a specific configuration of a car but the ability to produce end models, which wouldn't be stealable from the car.
