UPDATED: 6:51 pm EST February 28, 2005 WILSON, N.C. -- Authorities made a major bust involving stolen baby formula in the eastern part of the state. Now, investigators are tracking the cash, trying to determine if profits went to any terror groups.

Big-rig Stolen While Parked in Mtn. View (Mountain View, CA - 2/28/05)
DRIVER SAYS VEHICLE DISAPPEARED OVERNIGHT
Stealing a tractor and its 53-foot trailer isn't your typical car theft. Mountain View police are trying to figure out how it happened over the weekend.
The driver of the truck had parked the vehicle near the intersection of Fairchild Drive and National Avenue about 9:30 p.m. Friday night. When he returned to pick it up Saturday, it was gone. ``It's not a crime we frequently see in the city of Mountain View,'' police spokesman Josef Kachman said Sunday. The trailer is 53 feet long, but otherwise nondescript, Kachman said.
The tractor, a 1998 Freightliner, says ``Fox'' on the doors, but it's not clear what type of business it's referring to, he said.
Kachman declined to disclose the trailer's contents, citing the an ongoing investigation.
