Man Busted With Custom Gas-Stealing Truck
Jun 19, 2008 | Views: 97
Well, I guess it was bound to happen. Gas thieves are starting to get even more bold and sophisticated.
A man in Orlando was busted for stealing gas using a custom-built 800-gallon fuel tank built into a Ford truck. He also had a key that could disable the meters on the pumps, allowing him to freely pump gasoline into his truck.
He apparently got too greedy though, and tried to pump his tank full in one shot. A gas station attendant got suspicious at the amount of time he was spending pumping gas into his truck, and called the cops.
The cops are figuring that he is probably part of a bigger gas-stealing ring, due to the sophistication of his setup.

His setup probably cost more then what he took!
