FREDERICK, Md. (AP) - Frederick police say four tons of fertilizer have been stolen from a farm supply store.
The fertilizer disappeared from the Southern States store in the 500 block of East South Street in Frederick some time Saturday night or early Sunday.
A store representative told police that 2,000 pounds of urea and 6,000 pounds of other fertilizer are missing. The fertilizer was in white 50-pound bags with a company logo.
Lt. Clark Pennington says they don't know what the motive behind the theft is, but they have notified the Maryland Coordination Analysis Center, which alerts all federal agencies of the theft.

This was Tim McVeigh’s use.
So how big a “boom” would that make?
Freakin great!
Rut Roh! That could make a big bomb!

Cows and horses gonna get some green pasture land soon.....
Look for a large diesel truck to go missing soon.
Damn! That’s about an hour’s drive from Washington..
Perhaps this will get their attention and slow them down.
"McVeigh did not need to raise money for the bomb, which only cost about $5,000. All told, the truck rental cost about $250, the fertilizer less than $500, and the nitromethane $2,780, with a cheap car being used as a getaway vehicle..." Oklahoma City bombing - Wikipedia
Obama’s fault.
Maybe it will be used to fertilize the Tree of Liberty.
Quick - check the local mosque’s parking lot...
Big boom. When I was in the coal biz, we used about 300 pounds per hole on a bench that had 40 to 50 holes to blast the overburden. This would fracture a chunk of shale 90 feet tall by 100 feet wide and 80 feet long.
More than enough to require "special elections" in most of the States.
Need it to grow crops for the Obama Soup Kitchens...
Tim McVeigh used about 3.5 tons of chemicals for his bomb. This would take down a good 10 story building.
The bomb that McVeigh and Nichols made used had 6200 lbs of ammonium nitrate mixed with nitromethane (racing fuel) and diesel fuel. (Source: wikipedia).
It could be that someone really just stole this fertilizer to either sell or use.
Very disconcerting knowing that Ft. Detrick is nearby.

as well as other HVT. I am sure the Obama Administration will not care one witt though.
Don’t worry it all went to Washington. I saw some of it display on Sunday during Meet the Press.
