"his department does not suspect that terrorism was behind the fuel thefts."
That MUST be a scripted comment that all LEs were told to use to the press. IMO, this sounds VERY serious.

2000+gal of propane + 5 tanks of nitrous + 5 tanks of Oxygen
Could be pretty hefty if you let it mix in an underground
parking deck before ignition.
Probably just needed it to barbque a mammoth or something.

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

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

contained nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide and oxygen. If they're looking for a trio that stole these I would suggest a dentist, a dry-ice salesman, and a scuba diver.

...One of the tankers carried about 3,000 gallons of propane, while the other held 2,600 gallons, police said. That size LP Carrier would handle mostly residential delivery. We have a 1,000 gallon tank in the swale and the big farms and ranches have easily ten times that on wagons just for irrigation.
One question. LP tanks can't be 'filled' more than 75% capacity so were these tankers just on a weekend break?

Does he suppose these tankers were stolen by a consortium of camper owners who were fed up with the rise in LPG prices?

The latest, per local San Antonio TV story
HEREOne hopes, like the stolen fuel tank truck of some time ago, these are found empty and abandoned somewhere in Mexico (BIG market for propane in Mexico). At the risk of oversimplifiying the obvious, the terrorism aspect of these things is not trivial!

Just heard on local San Antonio news broadcast (WOAI) that the two trucks have been recovered somewhere east of Laredo.
Good News!!
