Someone stole it from their vast tanks, and after having ruled out human thieves, they eventually associated it with the gunk they found in the bottom of the tanks: bacteria! So this bacteria, whose name I've forgotten completely - maybe NASAii?!, thrived in an environment consisting of just kerosene: no light, no air, nothing! Nowadays they add a biocide to lower the losses of kerosene, and It seems it still works!
