With gas prices the way they are these days, it's understandable that some people might want to acquire their supply in a less than legal manner, like siphoning from a gas station's supply. However, if you're going to do that, it is advisable that you don't fall asleep during the process.
MUNCIE, Ind. Sep 29, 2005 — A man was charged with theft after authorities said he fell asleep while siphoning gasoline into a 55-gallon tank.
The gas station manager called police after noticing the man's white van Tuesday.
Officers found him asleep inside the van next to a 55-gallon tank and a battery-operated pump. A hose from the pump led to the gas station's underground tank.
I guess he won't have to worry about high gas prices any longer.
