 Gas Thieves Fill Car With Diesel Fuel


Aug 16, 10:49 PM (ET)


NAPPANEE, Ind. (AP) - The high cost of gasoline may have driven them to do it. Picking the wrong fuel pump cut short their getaway. Two men who tried to steal gasoline from a construction company instead filled the tank of their car with off-road-grade diesel fuel Sunday, police said.

An employee of Beer & Slabaugh spotted the men on the company property near Nappanee, about 20 miles southeast of South Bend, as they were siphoning fuel out of the car's tank, Elkhart County deputies said.

The two told the employee that a friend had put the wrong fuel into the tank and they were trying to empty it, deputies said. The employee noticed that the fuel was the distinctive red color of off-road diesel.

He called deputies, who arrested McKinley Chase, 21, and Dajuan L. Lord, 19, both of Gary, on preliminary charges of felony. They acknowledged the theft by explaining their mistake and saying their car would not run.

Lord remained in the Elkhart County Jail on Tuesday. Chase was released on bond, a jail spokeswoman said.

 

~~~~~~That will teach them :lolol:

I know a guy that worked for the county. They gave him a county car to go to an out of town meeting and told him to fill it up at the pumps by the equipment garage.......you guessed it! He got about 2 miles down the road and it quit LOL
