Truck carrying 600 pounds of nitrate stolen in Dania Beach

[Glenn]

Police do not think

Picking on cops, eh?

[Bobalu]

No, but they used to make Nitrous Oxide with it (laughing gas)
If I remember my college chemistry classes correctly after all these years :-)

[Does so]

Thief (thieves) was looking for a 350.

You might be right. 600 pounds would not go far on a field of corn. It might be his competition needed his fertilizer more than he did. Loans for operating cost are a little tight right now.

[chainsaw]

Isn’t it also used to manufacture meth?

I’m not a chemist, but I think that is Anhydrous Ammonia.

I like the juxtaposition of a tough utility vehicle with the tool box is parked in front of the jazz/tap dance academy.

[SunkenCiv]

Moschella said the same group of thieves also tried unsuccessfully to steal another truck from the parking lot Tuesday night.

[kevinm13]

Sure, the other F-350’s would make good truck bombs from the materials in the back of the first one.

Ammonium nitrate. As well as starting fluid, lithium batteries, drain cleaner, Sudafed pills, and a heat plate.

I'll stick to gardening.

Mogas and chicken$h!t....

Boom.

[screaminsunshine]

Well Obama must have put some Gitmo residents out on work release.

[gargoyle]

...Ask Pelosi if any of her new friends from the south borrowed some fertilizer...

[Texas Songwriter]

That iss 12 - 50 lb sacks of fertilizer. I will have 15 tons spread across my bermuda pastures this spring.

[HonestConservative]

And whoever took it will be motivated by right wing hate radio.

[eeevil conservative]

“Stolen” is such a harsh word. this could instill hatred and prejudgement.

I am sure it was simply misplaced or indefinatly borrowed by someone who did not have any nitrate.

When are people going to learn to share in this country?

(do I really need a sarc tag?)

To everyone posting threads that are location-specific, PLEASE remember to include a State in the title, or at least in your opening post. No one outside of that area knows where that is.

Thank you.

[WorkerbeeCitizen]

Undoubtedly.

[chainsaw]

Like I said, I’m no chemist. I do know they steal Anhydrous Ammonia by the bucket full to make meth with.

[BagCamAddict]

And in the time it took me to post that, the State has been added to toe title. Thank you!

(For anyone who reads this thread later, the original title did not include the State.)
