That's interesting, thanks Velveeta. A post from that threat states:
From KHOU, our local CBS affiliate, some more info is offered: “The canister vanished from the second floor of the plant in the 16,700 block of Glenagle Drive North. It is 150 pounds of stainless steel and is marked chlorine gas.”

To me that indicates it is not a drug addict looking for scrap metal to sell. Why hassle with lugging 150 pounds from the second floor when there are probably easier pickings for scrap.
