"Danger Oxidizers."
I'm in a fire department HAZMAT class right now. "Oxidizer" is the term used for any chemical or compound that reacts with Oxygen. Generally, they react violently, hence the warning. Containers that contain them have to carry labels that say "Danger Oxydizers", and trucks have to be placarded. Our government at work... guess they decided that it would be too expensive to add punctuation to the placards and labels in the interest of readability. :) They should read: "DANGER! Oxidizers"
Just my .02.

Question? If a legitimate "threat," why call in and warn the police?
