There just wont be teens doing the stealing of gas! People working 50 hours a week are barely getting by..Avg person spends $50.00 a week a gas alone

Where is the oversight here...Access to gasoline pumps available to the general public. Highway Supt. needs to get a grip on reality.

I guess with gas at almost$4.00 / gallon, you will see a lot more of this kind of stuff.

1 count of petty larceny?Sounds like an easy deal to get the gas you cant afford anymore.Stealing gas will most likely be the headlines in the news in the future.

Not surprised. We'll see a lot more of this as the price of gas goes up. Yep...it'll reach $4.00 a gallon by Memorial Day weekend. Then they can be ever so kind and give us that tax break. Big Whoop!!
