This is getting more and more alarming.

 

Fox News reports tonight that 43 large propane tanks were stolen in PA. 

Dozens of propane tanks stolen over the past month in Missouri.

Dozens of burner phones purchased in bulk in WalMarts in Missouri

Stolen remote controlled cars

Bulk purchase of Xbox 360 Kinect sensors in Arkansas

 

What is going on?

Coincidental bullcrap. Dont drink from the waters of panic.

Propane has a good resale, and scrap value too.

If theyre using FAIEDs with prox detonators with the ini element being a KINECT...they wont last long lol.

Nothing to see here.

Actually propane tanks from grills make poor bombs, they are just not that devastating. The only reason this one burned for so long is because dudes soaked the ground around it with gasoline in a previous video, I guess to help it ignite.

One particularly boring day in Iraq I decided to shoot a full propane tank with tracer rounds. It didn't explode. I shot it at least a dozen times. So I took another propane tank and put half a block of C4 on it. That made a pretty cool fireball.

If some dirtbag can steal it they will.


Yep. In my neighborhood we had a rash of stolen Christmas laser lights recently. People will steal anything that isn't nailed down. Thieves should be executed. They have no place in society.

Resale of stolen propane when winter is coming...makes too much sense on its own, so it must be terrorism.

In Under the Dome, Stephen King had a major plot point of using a lot of propane for meth production; is there any truth to that, or did he just make it up?  It wasn't clear to me if it was just used for the cooking, or if it was used in the chemical make-up of meth.  The huge stockpile of propane became an issue near the end of the book.

People use to steal the tanks to fill with another gas used to cook meth but it wasn't rated the same and would either explode or leak rapidly in their face causing death. Seemed like a self correcting issue.
