69. People steal trucks all the time. And AN alone does not a good bomb make.
Ammonium Nitrate is only one ingredient of a bomb. The Oaklahoma City bomb also required diesel fuel and Tovex, mixed in exacting quantities. It wouldn't be possible to duplicate that with a stolen tanker alone. A tanker full of gasoline would make a better bomb.
Most trucks are stolen for the same reason that most cars are stolen...so people can resell them for cash or parts. A nice tractor rig can run well north of $100k, and some trailers can cost nearly that much. A quick paintjob and some swapped VIN plates can net a thief a lot of money.
