Man Accused Of Rigging Gas Pumps To Steal Fuel
ST. LOUIS -- St. Louis police have arrested a man suspected of reprogramming service station gas pumps, allowing him to steal gasoline.
The crime cost several stations tens of thousands of dollars as hundreds of motorists drove away with free gas before operators realized what had happened. Police were called Friday to a Mobil Food Mart. Employees there had taken down the license plate of a suspect's car, which was also recorded by store surveillance cameras. Police arrested a 23-year-old man. When they searched the Cadillac Escalade he was driving, they discovered keys to pump lock boxes, and code books with computerized programs for the pumps. The suspect is a recent college graduate with a degree in accounting. http://www.wftv.com/automotive/91809...205102006&ts=H |

roflcopter. An accountant, probably studying for his CPA, driving an Escalade, steals gas. Perfect.

Nice. Amazing what people will do for some free gas. I guess he can kiss his possible accounting career buh-bye.

Yeah, he can only find work as a lawyer from now on. In the days of Enron, the story might be different. Here's a follow up story. http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/new...+AND+%22gas%22
