With gas prices as they are - I got this e-mail from a friend, and although you hope it would never happen, I guess it could! I've sent this reminder to all my e-mail buddies but wanted to share it with my on-line buddies too!
"A woman said her son found his license plate missing so he called the police to file a report. They told him people were stealing the plates
to get free gas." Given the rise in gas prices, people have taken to stealing license plates, putting them on their car, then getting gas and
running. The gas station will have 'your' license plate # and you could be in trouble for 'pump and run.' Check your car periodically to be sure
you still have a plate. If you should find it missing, file a report immediately!!! Keep an eye on your license plate! Make sure you always
know it's there! When the license plate is reported as the 'drive off vehicle', it's YOU they contact! Be aware!!!! Be aware of your license
plates, most of us never look to see if the plates are there or not.

I agree Sassy!  When I read the original e-mail, I was like  , but it is true, if someone has your license plate & drives off from a gas station, the station will have your # ! |

Tam, I got the same email! Also in our local newspaper there was an article about a man who got caught stealing gas from gas stations. He had a hidden 800 gal tank in the back of his truck (I assume the truck bed was covered). He also had a device that disabled the gas meter on the gas pump. he got caught because the man working in the gas station checked to see what was taking him so long to fill his gas tank! People will take desperate measures, sometimes!  |

Tam, I heard the same thing. I was also watching the news one day when they mentioned that some people have drilled into another car's gas tank and drained the gas tank dry. Also, it mentioned that some people are stealing the grease from restaurants that can be used for biofuel. This makes no sense, as some restaurants will pay people to take the grease away!
