Gas Problems

I know gas prices are about as high as half the population of California right now, but this is ridiculous. Waaaa, waaaa, waaaaaaaaa.

According to the AP, a teenager got caught stealing gas from a cop car.

Police were on a stakeout in a Michigan neighbor to catch an arsonist when one of the officers caught the guy trying to steal gas from his unmarked car. He would have gone to a gas station to get it, but he only had one arm and one leg left.

The officer was still inside the car when the suspect tried to siphon the gas from his car. His justification? His tax dollars paid for the car and the gas that was put in it to technically it’s not stealing because he’s just taking something he’s already paid for.

    Wait a minute, how did he know that that particular plain, unmarked car was a police vehicle? Talk about grasping for justification!
