Why is everyone assuming the truck is actually filled with concrete? Mythbusters famously demonstrated they can be used to carry, and mix, a wide variety of products.

Like fertiliser contaminated with diesel, for example.

    A cement truck full of cement is much easier to steal than a cement truck full of anything else.

    A cement truck empty of cement would be marginally easier to steal than a cement truck full of cement...

    The problem becomes filling that cement truck with anything else, though...

    An empty one would be a lot easier to steal, they get filled, driven to site, and emptied. Filling one yourself would mean knowing how to operate the plant.

    Getting the AN into it would be relatively easy, you just need to find a loader or telehandler.

    Because trapping them in is just as effective.
