2:22 PM Dumb Crime We are all, no doubt, cringing (or perhaps outright crying) every time we have to stop at the gas station. Just in case you were thinking of resorting to a life of crime to get gas, please learn from this clown's mistake: Gas Thief Sets Self On Fire A New York man used a lighter to see in the dark while he was allegedly stealing gas. Thurman, NY -- Authorities have a tip for would-be gasoline thieves: when stealing gas in the dark, do not use a lighter to check on your progress. Authorities say one man did just that when he was siphoning gas from a dump truck at a business in the Adirondacks. The sheriff's department says he was transferring the fuel from the truck to a gas can when he used a lighter to see how full the container had become. That sparked a fire that caused minor burns to his face and hands. The fire spread to a nearby forklift, which was destroyed in the blaze. The man has been charged with petit larceny and criminal mischief. It was his second arrest in a month for stealing gasoline from businesses in the town of Thurman, about 65 miles north of Albany. A link to the story: Idiot Gas Thief Stories like these really do make me feel so much better about myself. I would at least have known to bring a flashlight. |
