    "Bright sparks" destroy car trying to steal fuel

    Mon Aug 29, 2:20 AM ET

    WELLINGTON (Reuters) - Three men trying to steal fuel from a New Zealand farm on Monday ended up setting fire to their own car.

    Police said the trio had siphoned diesel into a petrol-driven vehicle. When their car would not start, they examined the fuel pipe using a cigarette lighter.

    One click, a boom and the car burst into flames.

    "It wasn't a major whodunnit," senior sergeant Ross Gilbert told Reuters, from the small North Island town of Waipukurau, about 230 km (143 miles) northeast of Wellington.

    "Fortunately for them, there is no criminal charge for stupidity."

    The men, aged 18 to 19, escaped injury but were charged with theft.

    This similar to another group of people whole stole diesel from a construction site and put it into their own car. However they weren't stupid enought to look into the gas tank with an open flame.
