What's to stop people from stealing petrol?

in every 20 litres of petrol there is actually a nano tech remote detonator that goes off once you leave the premesis and it hasn't been disabled by the shop assistant - a bit like those tags on clothes.

but they are expensive so for now its every 20 litres, soon it will be every 10. so when you are stealing petrol, make sure to take less than 10 litres to be sure. because the pump won't dispense the detonator before that much goes in.

unused detonators are captured by the fuel filters and decay in about 30 minutes. as such very few of them have actually been recovered from petrol tanks.

when a stolen car appears to be burnt by the thieves and left abandoned it was actually the detonator that went off because they pushed their luck by stealing the petrol as well.

Lol yeah right :pac: detonators rofl ...hehe..sigh

I want to steal petrol now to road test that theory :pac::pac:

if you have a 30 litre container you might even be able to recover the detonator if you act fast. the detonator will be floating on top since it has to be near the oxygen to ignite the petrol. its like a spec of dust and very hard to find indeed.

I think that's a bit harsh in fairness. Robbing old ladies who can't defend themselves or pushing drugs on teens is something low life scumbags do. I hardly think that driving away with a necessary commodity because a petrol station couldn't be bothered to secure it rises to the same level.

I'm not saying it's okay to do it or anything but if people just leave free money around people are bound to take it. I wouldn't do it in my position, but if you've ever had to try to survive in the modern world with a shoe-string budget then maybe you'd think differently about people trying to get by.... maybe you should keep the "low life scumbags" remark for the likes of Ivor Callely and remember not everyone is well off enough to get into lofty discussions on the ethics of others and look down their noses at them.

Necessary commodity? Hardly. I live in a rural area where there is no public transport, therefore I drive a car. I still would class the car as a luxury item (if you can call a 3 year old fiesta as a luxury!). Therefore the fuel that goes in the car would not, to me, be classed as a necessary commodity. Electricity, food, gas etc would be what I would call ''necessary''.

psst... why steal only a tanks worth when you can steal a tanker with €40 grand of petrol in it. Keep you going for life and nearly as easy to do.

No-one will notice that parked on your drive.

When I worked in a petrol station years ago, I wouldn't authorize the petrol if I saw that the registration number was obscured in any way.

Pfft...noobs.

A year ago I hijacked a petrol tanker, and hid it in a field I own. I reckon I've still about 6 months of petrol left in it.
