ARTICLE SNIPPET: "SALEM, OREGON - Authorities were searching Wednesday for a truck stolen in southern Oregon that was loaded with 1,700 gallons of a chemical often used by methamphetamine "cooks" to make the illegal drug. Klamath County Sheriff Tim Evinger said the flatbed truck with two 1,000-pound tanks was reported stolen Tuesday from Basin Fertilizer & Chemical Co. in Merrill.
The truck was loaded with anhydrous ammonia, a chemical that is used for fertilizing and refrigeration, but also can be used for making methamphetamine, Evinger said."
