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.

"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.

Does Dale Gribble have an alibi?

I'm sure it's just two low lifes saying,"Hey I know how we can get some cash.Let's steal
two full propane trucks and pawn 'em."
Yea,that's it.

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.
