Jealous police officers everywhere want to know: “How come I never get the easy ones?”
Police report… Sleeping Siphoner Seized
A Swifty gas station in Muncie wasn’t open for business when the driver of a white van attempted to fill up.
But 38-year-old Brad Hodson wasn’t filling his tank. Police say a 55-gallon barrel was in the back of his van.
Muncie Police Chief Joe Winkle explains, “He had pulled up next to the underground tank and had put a homemade siphoning hose in the underground tank.”
Hodson used batteries to do the actual siphoning. But in the process, Chief Winkle says Hodson apparently fell asleep. “The fact it was 5:30 in the morning, he may have just got tired trying to fill that large drum up with gasoline. I’m not sure how fast that happened, but it probably took a little while and he probably just sat back.”
I have this co-worker/friend who’s totally hot. Hot enough that when she took her car to the dealer for repairs, the guy behing the counter gave her a Hummer for a temporary loaner car.
She tried driving it but it was so god-darned expensive to drive she had to take it back and get a normal loaner car.
“Siphoning” uses a hose and gravity. Using a pump is called… ummmm…. “Pumping”
Plus, the headline would read much better as: “Local man arrested for pumping gas.”
Only in Indiana. 🙁
REALITY:
Hit hard by skyrocketing energy prices, more consumers were late on paying debts in the second quarter. With interest rates and gasoline, natural gas and heating oil costs expected to continue rising, some banking experts said credit delinquencies could further increase.
FANTASY:
The Bushworld credit card fairy Snow White will come in the night, if you just put your credit card under your pillow before you go to sleep.
My heart bleeds for people in the US moaning about petrol prices. Try filling up in the UK, it’ll bring a tear to your eye.
Okay ..the truth…this is my daughters dad!!!!!Was
