PHILADELPHIA – Police are trying to find two men who they say stole 43 propane tanks from two industrial sites in the last week, and have alerted their Homeland Security division as a safety measure.

We had a rash of propane tank thefts in Missouri recently, too. I don’t think they ever found the perps or figured out what they wanted them for.

Lots of BBQ joints around?

These things make better rifle targets than Tannerite. But I wouldn’t really have any 1st hand knowledge of that.

Would they make as good a bomb casing as a pressure cooker?

Yes there is all manner of dangerous uses for these things and the authorities have reason to be concerned, but there are many commercial and business uses too. I hope they were stolen for one of those uses.

Or maybe just poor inner city folk stocking up for the winter.

Lots of potential options for the reason(s) why.

Backwards! Treat the theft as terrorism, "unless we come up with something else."

What about some effort on figuring out who stole our country.
