I know you guys can tell it's a slow day in the entertainment world because I'm blogging about something that I HATE to even think about... GAS PRICES!
I was over at CNN.com reading and happened upon this story about some thieves in Lehigh Acres, FL stealing 995 gallons of gas! DAMN!!! Where was I at when this was happening. Anyways, the theives somehow rigged the gas pump to where they went in to pay for a couple of dollars worth of gas, but ended up pumping $4000 worth. Even after the thieves left, customers were still getting the gas at whatever price the bandits paid because the pump was still rigged.
These folks were brazen enough that they commited this crime in broad daylight at a Circle K gas station. What tipped authorities off, and I'm still wondering about this, is that customers who had come and gone, started calling in saying that they filled up their tanks for $15! Sooooooo, now that's a problem? Are you kidding me? Why would you call in? Come back and get more gas before you do that. Damn! Damn! Damn! I hate to say it, but you know they had to be white (no offense to my white readers)... you know black folks ain't that damn savvy to know how to do something like that. Well, I take that back, I'm sure there are some of us nerds out there that know how, or even someone who is familiar with working on those machines. This was obviously an inside job because the crooks hit the pump where they knew the camera wouldn't hit it, and they knew which buttons on the machine to disable. Either way, it's been fixed, but with the way the ecomomy is going, I'm sure this ain't the last we'll be hearing of situations such as this one.
