MARIETTA, Pa. (AP) - Federal authorities are offering a $10,000 reward for information on the theft of hundreds of pounds of explosives from a worksite in Pennsylvania.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said about 640 pounds of dynamite and 400 blasting caps were stolen over the weekend from a Gregory General Contracting Company site in Marietta.

What could go wrong?
"...640 pounds of dynamite..."
ELF and ALF...the pipeline has wound up the enviro-wackos.
Watch YouTube for people shooting explosives from a distance (that is usually not quite far enough).
Hey buddy. Why is there a fuse on my Philly Cheese Steak?
Look for two 14 year olds or some guys from the local Operating Engineers hall.
That would be the last prank they pull... that's a lot of dynamite.
In my best Jimmy Walker, DY-N0-MITE!
Police have released an image of the suspect...
Probably employee theft.
Hope this isn’t related to the riots they are planning in Pittsburgh tomorrow when Trump fires Mueller.
BOOM!
640 pounds of explosives locked in a truck trailer overnight. Seems like adequate security.
Democrats..mussies..FBI?
Something more than a "locked truck trailer" I suspect.
Where is the Earth-shattering KKKAAÀBOOOOM?
Russians?
Not really. The trailer needs to be located far enough away from other structures, and needs to get the okay from the local fire marshal. The caps need to be in a heavy-duty, thick steel box with locks. The locks are covered so a bolt cutter won’t cut them, but a cutting torch would get the box open.
The “dynamite” needs to be in a separate locked trailer. I’m guessing it isn’t the stick dynamite found in Bug’s Bunny cartoons, but probably a binary component where you mix them together (basically fertilizer and jet fuel). But still makes a big boom.
Terrorists?
