Sticking out like a sore thumb
A teenager pulled into the Kwik Shop in Prattville, AL in a bright yellow Trans Am. This car had a black garbage bag over the right rear window since the window had been busted out and the rear fender was hanging down. The boy filled up with gas and left without paying. Police quickly caught up with the boy and took him back to the store for identification. The manager told the boy if he was gonna steal gas, he should at least do it in a car that doesn’t stick out like a sore thumb. The boy was sent to a juvenile detention facility and lost his license for 2 years.
