You guys see this on the news?
Here's the Incident and Emergency Centre alert.

I guess it was a 2.5-ton Volkswagen truck.
That is nasty radioactive stuff if combined with regular type explosives(like a dirty bomb).
It could do quite a bit of damage to an area in regards to spreading radiation.

I wonder who stole it?

I cant help but to think of this Global Security Studies doc from 2012 after seeing the news reports.
"Hezbollah and Al Shabaab in Mexico and the Terrorist Threat to the United States"

Hezbollah and Al Shabaab have been discovered to have a footprint in Mexico, are receiving Mexican language and cultural assimilation training, have been discovered to have a relationship of convenience with the Mexican drug cartels, and have been smuggling their operatives into the United States to raise money and to recruit members to their cause. With raising tensions between the U.S. and Iran, Iran has stated that it currently has the ability to reach out and target the U.S. on U.S. soil. Since it is unlikely Iran will send military troops to the U.S. and lacks the capacity to strike the U.S. with an intercontinental ballistic missile, with Hezbollah residing in Mexico Iran could use Hezbollah as a proxy to strike targets within the United States. With Al Shabaab aligning itself with al Qaeda, residing in Mexico, and successfully smuggling operatives into the U.S. This provides a force multiplier and an established strategic cell structure for al Qaeda to reside near and within the U.S. and target the U.S. on U.S. soil. Therefore, Hezbollah and Al Shabaab residing in Mexico pose a direct terrorist threat to the United States.

It's a long doc with more info - you can download it here and read the rest if interested.

That's scary. I hope they do a better job of catching it than they did catching Cheech and Chong coming across the border in their truck.

With Obamas border & immigration policy, he will give the crooks 'Amnesty', citizenship, a hefty stipend and give them an escort to bring that shit over here.

He already funded and killed Americans with arms already, may as well continue his legacy by nuking Americans, too.

Only echo I hear is "Bush this" and "Bush that" bouncing around the empty skulls of kool-aid zombies.

Some of us are concerned with RIGHT NOW and what the ACTING president is doing, that is all that matters in the now.

Recently Obama said that the deficits are down. He said "deficits" not "deficit".

Those guys would be better off with radiation poisoning then to be in a Mexican jail for theft.

6 times a year this happens on average they say? Well now that the bad guys know about it the next theft will be the one that's planned for the purpose of getting the radio active material. How does this happen so often and it's just ignored?
Total BS
