Let's hope they catch him quickly, and that the hijacker doesn't have the ammonium nitrate to go with it...
Unfortunately, I can't think of many other reasons someone would want, or actually go through the trouble, to hijack a diesel tanker at gunpoint.

Hmm, this is interesting... I cant imagine him getting very far though. Police should be able to stop him quickly.
Of course he may be planning to drive it into a building, but I doubt he will get that far...

The thief is probably looking at it as an investment seeing how gas is on the rise with crude going for $90 a barrel. Hopefully that is all it is.
I just read another article about a guy stealing gas.

This guy was serious about siphoning gas.

CNN is reporting it right NOW and the tanker has been found but not the driver!!
