Good news. Kind of reminds me of a "Weekly World News" paper that my friend showed to me. The headline read, "Bigfoot Recaptured." My friend said, "I didn't even know he was loose!"

I'm a lifelong Texan. Vehicles are routinely stolen, particularly from San Antonio and south Texas, taken to a border town, repainted, sometimes given new plates and driven over the border to a waiting customer. Many, many 4x4s are given to the Mexican police. Years ago I had a client who had his truck stolen in El Paso. It showed up a few days later in the parking lot of the Mexican police station, being driven by one of the officers. The "mordida", bribes, to even begin to get the vehicle back was more than it was worth. Been that way since God was a Lance Corporal.

Hahahaha! Now I have to believe you.

I suspect your theory is correct, but I just couldn't find it in the story and thought you had heard it elsewhere. Now, .....about that fuel tanker in New Jersey?

This was weird. Terrorist, or someone tired of paying high fuel prices?

Earth to commercial vehicle thieves: "Steer clear of tanker trucks until further notice. Feebies will not let you keep them long enough to fence them. Steal something else."

Latest from local SATX station WOAI:

The trucks were found on Highway 359 two miles east of Laredo. There's still no word whether the trucks were still carrying the explosive fuel when they were found. [No mention of warehouse]

FBI spokesman Rene Salinas said the market for propane in Mexico is strong and that the thieves could have been filling an order, mirroring a similar theft about nine months ago.

Doesn't matter. Hard to drive the stuff into a building without a tanker.

Somebody looking to make a profit on stolen property, as is common in Mexico, the land of corruption and illegal aliens. Those are two imports we don't need.

Heard that the propane was in the tanks just an hour ago. However, they still needed to verify it for sure.
