I haven't heard one word about a stolen gasoline tanker. That's important. We need to see what else we can find out about it.

I finally found the article which says the tanker was found.

DAVIE, Fla. -- A fuel truck loaded with more than 2,000 gallons of fuel was stolen Thursday evening.
Police say the truck was stolen from Quick Fleet Services at 4400 S.W. 36th St. in Davie. Someone got into the office, took the keys and drove the truck away between 5:45 p.m. and 9:45 p.m.
The truck was carrying 1,300 gallons of diesel fuel, 580 gallons of red diesel fuel, and 300 gallons of gasoline.
The Homeland Security Task Force was notified of the theft, but police said they believe the truck was stolen for the gas, not for any type of terrorist activity. Investigators said they suspect this type of theft may become more common as gas prices increase.
Friday afternoon, and Immigration Enforcement officer noticed a truck matching the description parked on the shoulder of Interstate 75. He notified the Davie police, who have determined that it is the stolen truck, and are continuing to investigate the theft.
