The stolen explosives are a little too close. I heard they were stolen from a Resevoir(Cystal Springs). Not good at all.

Oh this is comforting! The details are worse - 800 BLASTING CAPS.

This area is a hotbed of terrorists IMO.

"The thief or thieves, who carted away about 200 pounds of goods in all, stole 800-900 commercial and military blasting caps from the facility near Crystal Springs Reservoir, according to ATF spokeswoman Marti McKee.

Additionally, 1,700 feet of "det cord," used for detonating other explosives, was taken, as was 75 feet of "det sheet," which McKee described as a dough-like explosive material that can be molded into different shapes.

Also missing are 114 pounds of binary explosives and 30-35 pounds of C-4 military explosives,"
