Inventive Thieves Syphon Diesel and Gasoline

[dollardaze]

Thieves are getting even more inventive, and traveling together to make sure they aren't seen by the cashiers at the gas stations that they are stealing from.

As fuel prices rise, fuel thieves are becoming more inventive.

Gas stations, government fueling stations and farms across the country are reporting thefts of hundreds of gallons of gasoline or diesel fuel at a time, sometimes right under the noses of attendants.

An image from a surveillance video shows the van used in the diesel theft at the Speedway on Rt. 23 in Lewis Center.



These thieves are really getting brave, doing this right in front of cashiers and the customers at the pumps. I guess that they don't care at all about making the price at the pump higher for the rest of us, who are actually paying for our gasoline. I hope they are all caught quickly and duly punished for their crimes.
