Two Propane Trucks Stolen in Texas Two Propane-Delivery Trucks Stolen From a Texas Gas Company

Two propane-delivery trucks were stolen from a San Antonio gas company over the long holiday weekend, city police said Tuesday.

But Police Chief Albert Ortiz said his department does not suspect that terrorism was behind the fuel thefts.

One of the tankers carried about 3,000 gallons of propane, while the other held 2,600 gallons, police said.

Also under investigation is the weekend theft of 15 gas canisters from an ambulance supply company.

"We think it is just a coincidence at this point," Ortiz said, who appeared at a Tuesday news conference with the head of the local FBI office.

He said five of the stolen canisters were empty, and that the others contained nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide and oxygen.

They're going to the 'Rat convention in Boston as first aid to revive anyone who drops from boredom.

Could be pretty hefty if you let it mix in an underground parking deck before ignition.

Would optimal mixing consist of a pair of tanks for each corner of the structure and one pair for the center?

Or is Bubba planning on winning the next street race, this weekend?

Losing these types of products is... to say the least... disconcerting.

Bobby is really Bill's son. They are trying to get rid of Hank. Make it look like an accident, then Bill runs off with Peggy. They all live happily ever after.

no, i don't believe the gasoline tanker stolen in NJ was ever found. my father thinks a tanker would come in handy to blow up one of the tunnels or bridges going into New York City. it's a horrifying thought.

I'm inclined to think that someone swiped it for the $10,000 of untraceable fuel.

Well, if it was terrorists, there's lots of high-population targets up and down IH-35. They could get to Mexico in 80 minutes and Canada in 18 hours.

Why aren't all terrorism related vehicles equipped with Lo-Jack position locators?

I'm inviting all Freepers to my house in San Antonio for a BBQ. I'm roasting 14 Elephants and a herd of Wildebeasts.
No,...no need to bring anything. In addition to the 2 propane trucks I stole, I also heisted 4 Budweiser trucks!
See ya there!
