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.

Lets hope it has FleetGuard onboard!!

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