Heck gasoline is not the only expensive stuff that has to be locked up now.

Anhydrous ammonia tank lock program moving northeast

BISMARCK, N.D. - Farmers and fertilizer dealers in three northeastern counties are being asked to help in the fight against methamphetamine.

Locks will be required on anhydrous ammonia tanks in Cavalier, Walsh and Pembina counties, starting Aug 1.

The law requires farmers and dealers to lock anhydrous ammonia tanks when they are not in use, to protect against theft. It took effect two years ago in Williams and McKenzie counties, in northwestern North Dakota.

Anhydrous is a key ingredient in the making of methamphetamine. Officials say the law has reduced anhydrous thefts.

I'm looking for a good locking as cap for my car at the moment. I must confess to siphoning the odd litre from cars tanks when I was a teenager, and I knew other lads that did the same, I justified it because I had a very high MPG scooter, plus the cars I siphoned would only have got a few miles to the litre. Just harmless fun like Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn

So I think farmers will definitely resort to a little careful siphoning of any unlocked tanks when things get tight.

Clandestine methamphetamine production is definitely the reason that anhydrous ammonia must be secured. I'm sure the ammonia is getting more expensive, but meth is worth much more and that's why it's being stolen. I would rather not say too much about where my opinions originate, but because of where I work, I have a very good insight into the methamphetamine problem in the midwest.

I'd buy an "I hate tweekers" bumpersticker but I don't want to be a target so FFS lock those tanks. As far as gas caps go, the next set I buy will need some kind of cap over the keyhole because the salt and sand of winter plugs the tumblers.

Being from a small town I'm on pretty good terms with everyone, and occasionally (When I'm there) hit the bar and run into some guys.
Well, one night me and my father were out having a few drinks and he runs into a guy who works for the Co-op. He starts givin us stories about always finding left over equipment to get anhydrous ammonia out of the tanks. They'd find garden hose, buckets, tubing, you name it.

Now, if you dont know about anhydrous ammonia let me tell you its some serious nasty stuff. You DONT play around with it. If you have ammonia around the house, you pretty much know what it is. Except in this case its a highly pressurized gas instead of a liquid.

Well, they said one night they got a call from the police station. Seems a couple cats rounded up a power drill and headed off to get some anyhrous.
They had laid on the ground and were drilling up INTo the tank.

Fortunately (or unfortunately, as it may be) the cops found them before they got through the tank.

Goddamn that'd be a horrid way to die.


Long story short, if theres something a theif wants badly enough you simply WONT keep it from him.
