Gas for Cash

Recently there have been more and more robberies on gas stations in California.   For those who don’t know, the average gas price there is around $5 a gallon.  Here is a story of one robbery.    A man and a woman stole more than $4,500 or 1,100 gallons of gas within 3 days.  That is enough gas to make 4 round trips from LA to NY.  They came by at night and disabled the gas payment meter.  They came by the next day in a black truck that had an extra tank in the back and filled up.   The next day they tried it during the day and were caught on video.  I think that it would be a really big problem if it started to happen all over the country.  I hope that others have learned to not do this.

What are your views and response on this?  (I bet you can’t give a response that is longer than 1 paragraph.)
