Preoccupied patron pinches petrol

When a familiar face in a white Toyota pickup stopped to fill up at a Hilltop Drive gas station, the clerk didn’t think twice about activating the pump prior to payment. When the man topped off his tank, climbed back in his vehicle and slowly drove away without settling his tab, the clerk called the cops. Given the man’s repeat-customer status and obvious nonchalance, the clerk was inclined to believe he’d merely forgotten to pay. He oldHippiedescribed the unlikely fuel pirate as a middle-aged “hippie” with long gray hair who probably lives in the area. The clerk provided a license plate number that, for whatever reason, didn’t register with the DMV, and a brief patrol of the immediate vicinity didn’t turn up the suspect vehicle. With luck, the forgetful fuel filcher will return to the scene of the crime in between 200 to 300 miles.
