Here is something else to worry about...I wonder how big of a BOOM 1/2 million worth of fertilizer makes? Authorities looking into fertilizer thefts The Associated Press Posted May 15, 2002, 10:40 AM EDT NAPLES -- Authorities have been investigating a string of alleged thefts of up to $500,000 worth of fertilizer from farms in southwest Florida. State and local investigators did not immediately disclose if the fertilizer was the type used to make bombs, said John Wilson, director of Lee County Emergency Management. Authorities believe all of the fertilizer was stolen between February 2001 and May 1. A report from the Lee County Sheriff's Office said $80,000 worth of fertilizer was stolen from Farm Op in Estero. A quarterly inventory also found similar thefts from Six L's Farms in Naples, LaBelle and Manatee County. The stolen goods may total up to $500,000, according to the reports. "Any time people start stealing fertilizer, it brings the antenna up a littler higher," said Wilson. Some types of fertilizer such as anhydrous ammonia also can be used to make methamphetamines. orlandosentinel.com
