I’m going to link to the Truckee incident, MamaDearest.
I’m noting you posted there is a $10,000 reward.
Good.

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “FLORISTON (NEVADA COUNTY), CA - News10 has learned the theft of explosives from a mountainside bunker east of Truckee involved hundreds of pounds of high-yield fertilizer and blasting caps.
The remote location ten miles west of the Nevada state line offered the thieves privacy while allowing the crime to go undetected for up to a week and a half.
The thieves removed the doors from the two steel vaults by sawing through the hinges. The heavy doors still lay on the ground in front of the vaults covered with fingerprint powder.
The Nevada County Sheriff’s Department and ATF declined to discuss the type of explosives taken, saying only that they belonged to a licensed contractor who owned and stored them legally.”

Very closely aware of this story, particularly since I have been doing field work in the Truckee area this summer and will continue through this fall/winter. This is big time ELF territory, as just a few years ago ELF burned down facilities at Northstar Ski resort and other homes in the area. Fertilizer is relatively easy to come by - blasting caps are not. It is initially thought that these eco-terrorists or possible criminal elements did this, though the blasting caps make it possible that terrorists could be involved as they are a crucial component of a fertilizer bomb like the one used at the Murrah fed bldg.
