[/media-credit]A couple in Riverside was able to steal 500 gallons(!) of fuel from a gas station by using what looked like horse trailer – but was more something out of a James Bond movie (if for some reason James Bond ever got into stealing gas). The LA Times reports:
According to a witness account, the man and woman pulled a horse trailer attached to a Ford truck into the Weis Fuel station in the 9400 block of Magnolia Avenue at 4:45 a.m. on July 22 and stopped over a tank filling hole, Riverside police said Thursday.
The horse trailer was apparently equipped with a false door and interior pumping system, which police said was used to extract 500 gallons of gasoline from the station’s underground tank.
Authorities are now seeking your help to find the couple (the rig had an alien sticker on it, if that rings a bell). Police could start by looking into any couple that has money in their bank account as the rest of us are all paying $3.59 a gallon.
