Well as long as cost keeps rising more of these issues will keep coming up. Some will be way more violent. This country should be energy independent and this wouldn't be a problem
@@isilence4558 yes but raising imperatives like fuel to the point of inability to afford will then cause normal people to resort to unimaginable means to keep fuel to live.

Not one policy implemented by the puppet and his worst lady have had any positive effect on the general public.

Stealing has escalade everywhere since the pandemic. Someone stole my catalyst converter off of my Honda Element after owning my car for 16 years, "I love my car!" Still figuring out if I should fix it or get a new one. After estimating the cost to "put it back together again", getting a new one will cost me just as much as I put into my Element.🥺..sad days ahead for me! DAMN THIEVES!!!!
I did the same stupid stunt when I owned a small business. You just snap, because you work 7 (days) 20's(hours/day), and they just negate week's of work in hours. When I called the police, they would show up hours later, when the thieves were long gone. Thank God nothing happened to him. Hope he stays safe and they catch the thieves.

@@deusvult6920 Also I know for a fact you don't understand how businesses work. Not every gas station is owned by a million dollar company, and even if most are they usually go through a franchise so one person or family could own the gas station, but they own a part of the company name so they have company policy to work for. Such as McDonald's and other fast food places all have franchises some are actually company stores, but most are people willing to pay a decent size of money for the brand name and type of store but they will own it. I think a McDonald's cost 1,000,0000 million to open as a franchise. My point is you aren't stealing from the company your stealing from individual small businesses and franchise owners that probably put their life savings to take the risk and open up stores with a multimillion brand name.

Although I don't necessarily doubt the theft occurred, it seems that the gas station manager may be overstating the amount of the theft. A gallon of diesel weighs ~7 pounds, so he's claiming that the thieves made off with around 1 ton (2,450 lbs.) of fuel each time? That's a lot of weight for an older Dodge Caravan, especially considering the effect it would have on the vehicle's handling.

Thieves get more and more creative and absolutely stupid at the same time. What if they would have blown themselves AND the gas station full of innocent people up?
He should have just caught the van on foot and dragged it back into the parking lot with his bare hands so he could ask them why they steal. I mean that was his plan, right?
Harbor freight sells a $60 pump that supposedly pulls 290 gph. So. You're telling us. This minivan is holding what? 6, 50 gallon drums inside it? Each time? Plus where do they store a thousand missing gallons of diesel in a residential neighborhood? 300 gallons of diesel is about 2,420 pounds plus it's liquid it will surge and spill everywhere if not secured.
These guys are pros. You could see the rear suspension was modified to carry the weight just in how he took off when the dude caught them. They probably have high volume pumps that can steal a couple hundred gallons at a time. Plus it was diesel not gas so id be checking some of these trucking companies for a blue minivan.
Cubans invented this in Florida long ago . They have one tank inside and a large volume pump , the van is modified . They are not storing it but filling tanks with it. You can go to a construction site and fill a couple vehicles and use 300 gallons quick and get a cash payment on the spot
@@go4brookle761 here's a tip for you and your husband... Don't wait until your gas light turns or near (E) to refill on gas, as it will damage your internal gas pump as there is little to no lubrication for it when low. An expensive fix all for the sake of waiting to refill on gas
So a lot of people have said the oil from Russian is only 2% of the US supply. So this jacking up of prices seems more like greedy businesses and other oil companies than anything else. Or is there something I’m missing? Genuinely asking not being snarky.
Maybe the thieves knew that as well because I sure as heck didn't. It actually makes me upset just learning this. I felt robbed out of my money today trying to fill up my gas tank.
The high prices of gas have nothing to do with Russia. This is all biden administration trying to recoup the trillions they just handed out in stimulus money. This is all bull💩 which is only going to get worse.
Supply hasn't caught up with demand since the country reopened from C-19. Everything should normalize once production normalizes and there are enough truck drivers to transport it. But yeah... these oil companies are also exploiting the conflict abroad to make record profits.
Apparently Biden has given the okay to frack on 1000s of acres of land however the oil and gas industry are refusing to increase productivity because they claim banks don't want to give them the loans to do so. Yet they continue to make more profits than ever so idk what to believe
Smart enough to come up with this clever scheme, stupid enough to keep coming back to the same place. Makes no sense, unless they hit a lot of gas stations... in that case their greed is going to be their downfall.
If I owned a gas station, I would add tire blades that pop up with the press if a button. Like the ones that airports have for rental cars. Try running with 4 flat tires!
@@GamingGamer22 unless there’s gas coating every square inch of the gas station I highly doubt there would be much damage anywhere other than the van , nearby area.
@@vikkichenn7142 But why are we all acting surprised tho ?!?! Trump warned how we'd get to $6, $7, $8 eventually $9/$10 under Biden's watch....

My thing is, if it's such a large quantity of fuel being taken, they have to be operating some business with heavy machinery. Excavating, farming, something along those lines. Your average Joe is not going to steal 100s of gallons for his daily commute
For all those that thought EV $50k vehicles were out of their price range, it's definitely not the case now. When you compare a gas car at $30k with gasoline costs at $300 a month, you'll be surprised it's a similar monthly payment when you get a $50k EV with much cheaper electricity costs.
@@longreach207 no one is forcing you to drive a gas or ev car/truck. If anything, you have more choices now. Buy a hydrogen fuel cell car, a battery electric or a gasoline powered car.
Wouldn't surprise me if this ends up happening more and more, especially out here in CA. Just go buy some beater astro van, cut a hole in the bottom, setup a pump and storage. Actually not a bad idea but I'm my wallets not hurting enough to risk that
As of date, in Malaysia the price per litre for R95 petrol is USD 0.50 (MYR 2.00). It is appaling to know when the American needs to pay 10 times of that per litre.
Wow! We have to give the thief props for a genius effort perfecting his craft. On the flip side, this has got to be the dumbest gas station clerk in the world. He saw a crime in progress, got all the evidence from the numerous times before but instead of calling the police, he single handledly ren out of the store to confront the guy. What exactly was his plan? Get an apology and shake hands before getting his head blown off? I can't believe I'm actually glad this dummy got woken up. He even said so himself that it was stupid to confront the suspect. I don't know how one survives life being that dumb. He's been lucky so far. Smh!
I don't feel sorry for the gas station owner, gas should not be this high. I can imagine employees in the gas station stealing gas cause the price went up and our wages stay the same. If your not gonna pay people living wages, pay with increase crime rates.
NEVER EVER EVER chase after criminals. I understand that your angry and mad. But it’s not worth your life my brother. Call the police and let them do their job.
Allentown Pennsylvania same deal, Only these guys were using an old Morning Call News Paper Delivery Truck they bought at auction. 5 275 gallon tanks inside 12 volt hjgh output pump, Park over Storage tanks Pop the lid and insert hose, I caught them at Daisy Hill Market one morning @2 am when I pulled in to make a Gasoline Delivery.Funny part was I was toping off tanks for tank testing cause owner thought they had a leak in Regular Tank..When I saw the hose under the truck I blocked them In with my tanker and called cops and station owner, Thieves took off running but were apprehended.
after he saw it the first time, why didn't he start parking his car over the covers? would have solved the problem. let them rob from someone else next time
@@fredtello I'm pretty sure there's mechanisms for excluding water that gets in the tank from being put into cars. It does rain and flood in Houston after all.
Blocking them in would have been "casual" and a sure-fire way to increase odds of catching the scumbag. Glad no one was physically harmed on this one; but people needs to be careful out there. Petrol-Pirates don't play around and may not run off like a scared little beach next time. Be careful.
The gas station owner makes less than a dollar per gallon. They are franchised. The station owner also pays a high price for the gasoline. The corporation and its shareholders make the vast majority of the profit. Theft only really harms the station owner, unless someone robs a train, refinery, or truck.
The manager should buy and park a large heavy junker SUV or truck over the caps to the tanks to block access and move it only when his supply tanker truck delivers fuel.
That's what I was thinking. Or at least get some pilons or saw horses to block off that area. Might not stop thieves but it will make it more obvious when someone wants to park there for a purpose.
They'll be carjacking the fuel trucks next.

Been robbed at work NUMEROUS TIMES...THE COPS ARE WORTHLESS EVEN WITH LICENSE PLATES AND KNOWING WHERE THE THIEVES LIVE....THEY WILL DO NOTHING. PROTECT YOURSELVES. NO ONE ELSE CARES AND NO ONE ELSE WILL. ESPECIALLY NOT CORRUPT LAW ENFORCEMENT.🔥🔥🔥
Well its Houston, so no convictions anyway.
Of course even after they get arrested, we have the bleeding heart libs and loony left and their 'bail reform'. Commit a felony and get released that day. Ridiculous.
It’s a van full of Diesel💁🏽♂️
Only $4.00? Laughs in California voice 😂😂
Ikr I’d probably cry tears of joy if I saw gas for $3.92 🥲

We're not even at the worse part either... Wait till we hit $10 during summer. With a 40 year high inflation rate & Biden's poor management of our economy, this will also drive our grocery shopping to go up nearly a 1k/month.
No one can act surprised after Daddy Trump warned us this happen... it is what it is... at least no more mean tweets
Give the people who did it no less than 10 years in prison to make an example of them.
Thieves get more and more creative and absolutely stupid at the same time. What if they would have blown themselves AND the gas station full of innocent people up?
He should have call the police!
FTP
What police? The gas police?
He should have just caught the van on foot and dragged it back into the parking lot with his bare hands so he could ask them why they steal.
I mean that was his plan, right?
Mom and pop gas station? well damn 😳
That's something out of a movie. Bravo!!!!! 👏👏
No business insurance? Hope so! Also hope you got the license plate #. So sorry for you! Stay safe friend. Blessings from WI 🤗😇🙏💙
That van has Temporary tags not plates
Harbor freight sells a $60 pump that supposedly pulls 290 gph. So. You're telling us. This minivan is holding what? 6, 50 gallon drums inside it? Each time? Plus where do they store a thousand missing gallons of diesel in a residential neighborhood? 300 gallons of diesel is about 2,420 pounds plus it's liquid it will surge and spill everywhere if not secured.
There were guys doing this during the gas shortage in the seventies, in Southern California. They had a hole in the floorboards of a heavy duty van.
These guys are pros. You could see the rear suspension was modified to carry the weight just in how he took off when the dude caught them. They probably have high volume pumps that can steal a couple hundred gallons at a time. Plus it was diesel not gas so id be checking some of these trucking companies for a blue minivan.
Well that pump will pump about 4.8 gallons a minute.
Cubans invented this in Florida long ago . They have one tank inside and a large volume pump , the van is modified . They are not storing it but filling tanks with it. You can go to a construction site and fill a couple vehicles and use 300 gallons quick and get a cash payment on the spot
Shamwow..maybe 2 if them
That's what I call smart.
More like a thieving POS
happen 12 years ago when petrol was peaking just started again
Owner should've gone out and started putting holes in the drivers' side door/window with some high velocity deterrents.
Now here you go if they would have bust back then what???? Blow up the whole store
Hes a Hero in my Book!!
I’d gladly pay that for gas. Saw it for $6.09/gallon today.
You must be here in California!!!
@@billchambersmarquez1964 I sure am! My husband put $10 in so he didn’t run out of gas and ended up paying $5.25/gallon somewhere else.
@@go4brookle761 here's a tip for you and your husband... Don't wait until your gas light turns or near (E) to refill on gas, as it will damage your internal gas pump as there is little to no lubrication for it when low. An expensive fix all for the sake of waiting to refill on gas
So a lot of people have said the oil from Russian is only 2% of the US supply. So this jacking up of prices seems more like greedy businesses and other oil companies than anything else. Or is there something I’m missing? Genuinely asking not being snarky.
Maybe the thieves knew that as well because I sure as heck didn't. It actually makes me upset just learning this. I felt robbed out of my money today trying to fill up my gas tank.
The high prices of gas have nothing to do with Russia. This is all biden administration trying to recoup the trillions they just handed out in stimulus money. This is all bull💩 which is only going to get worse.
Supply hasn't caught up with demand since the country reopened from C-19. Everything should normalize once production normalizes and there are enough truck drivers to transport it. But yeah... these oil companies are also exploiting the conflict abroad to make record profits.
Apparently Biden has given the okay to frack on 1000s of acres of land however the oil and gas industry are refusing to increase productivity because they claim banks don't want to give them the loans to do so. Yet they continue to make more profits than ever so idk what to believe
@@HighPricedManiac If you believe what Brandon says youre just as stupid as he is. This is 100 percent Brandons fault.
Smart enough to come up with this clever scheme, stupid enough to keep coming back to the same place. Makes no sense, unless they hit a lot of gas stations... in that case their greed is going to be their downfall.
Damn these thieves are getting smarter.
A smart individual would have let police known & been ready to act . He let the thief getaway & they prolly just gonna go to another station 🙄😒
*will the cop get there in 5 minutes and less?*
Anyone catch a glimpse of the axle? Brand new U brackets. I'm thinking they beefed up the rear suspension for this heist.
This literally hurts no one.
the caps can be locked, they have holes just for that reason.
All the manager had to do was call PD. It would have been a priority call due to it being fuel. But he chased him on foot...
Not a very smart move.
Yeah, the guy could have gone to jail, but he ran him away.
call pd walk to his car and follow from a distance see where they go untill police arrive
So true, there's no way he's coming back now. Hopefully he got his license plate number.
The police take forever to show up even in emergency situations
I remember when gas was 4 bucks here in Cali ... good old days
I remember when it was less than $2 in my town. I think it was two years ago. : (
Them days is long gone!!!!!!!!
If I owned a gas station,
I would add tire blades that pop up with the press if a button.
Like the ones that airports have for rental cars.
Try running with 4 flat tires!

It was Joe and Kamala. Kamala was driving and laughing. Joe cannot be held responsible because he didnt know where he was or what he was doing.
OK...just show everyone a new way to steal gas.🤣
As someone who has lived through more than one energy crisis... Including the 1970's... believe me when I say that this is nothing new.
One well placed flair into that vehicle and I guarantee they won’t do it again
One wrong placed flare and everyone at that gas station won't do anything again
@@GamingGamer22 unless there’s gas coating every square inch of the gas station I highly doubt there would be much damage anywhere other than the van , nearby area.
@Colton Webb the underground gas tank was literally right under the van. If that blows its game over
Diesel is more stable than gasoline.
Carne enflambe?
They left a courtesy sticker on the pump of Joe pointing and saying “I did that!”
Must not have taken that much if it was only in the thousands! Just kidding… but really, these prices outta hand
So no description of the driver? I imagine the manager got a pretty good look.
Roger,
They all look alike.
Criminals, that is ...
Ppl are getting desperate and very bold these days in the 2020s.
People are risking it all. Inflation is killing everyone, especially the middle class & poor

But why are we all acting surprised tho ?!?!
Trump warned how we'd get to $6, $7, $8 eventually $9/$10 under Biden's watch.... This will drive our grocery shopping to jump nearly 1k per month during summer because we rely on transportation to get our goods across the country.
We're not at the worst part either according to Papa Trump. they voted for this incompetence, everyone got to own up to it .
At least no more mean tweets !! 😎😎
@@christopherdelcastillo0077 it's not as bad as the 1970's. I lived through that and I'll live through this.
I predicted a hike in gas theft from cars but not this. I am just glad I hardly drive these days, mostly just taking my daughter to school.
The world starts to slightly tip in a negative direction and the fiends immediately come out to start scavenging. Such rats
Paper plates?...cant believe it.
When a gas station, bank, grocery store, etc is robbed alerts should automatically be sent to every gas station, bank, grocery store, etc in the area.
News just exposed how to steal hundreds of gallons... great job 👍
And it will get worse as we fall deeper into chaos. I've been trying to show people why this is happening.
It used to be modified horse trailers back in 2008 long before the pandemic. Many thieves got away with but eventually it was on the news
My thing is, if it's such a large quantity of fuel being taken, they have to be operating some business with heavy machinery. Excavating, farming, something along those lines. Your average Joe is not going to steal 100s of gallons for his daily commute
Whoa, the things thieves would do are sometimes flat out genius!
"Necessity is the Mother of Inventions."
that paper license plate is a blessing for the crooks.
Big dummy. Wait until they start the process before running out after them.
Dude you should’ve called the cops…. Stuff like that they would’ve rushed over there. I would’ve found a way to

Thanks for your opinion .
As prices go up we are going to start seeing this more and more.
Just imagine how much profits the investor's are making
For all those that thought EV $50k vehicles were out of their price range, it's definitely not the case now. When you compare a gas car at $30k with gasoline costs at $300 a month, you'll be surprised it's a similar monthly payment when you get a $50k EV with much cheaper electricity costs.
Hey Diego!
Maybe your math adds up, but stop and think about having someone else's ideals forced onto you. That should change your tune.
@@longreach207 no one is forcing you to drive a gas or ev car/truck. If anything, you have more choices now. Buy a hydrogen fuel cell car, a battery electric or a gasoline powered car.
Y’all don’t wanna raise wages since the 80’s to keep prices down but prices keep raising anyway. People ain’t playing with y’all anymore 🤷🏻♂️
Ending up in jail and being a thief is not the answer to high prices.
Despite gas station owners being some of the tightest and money-hungry people in the world....
Why wudnt he just call the police and let them catch the guy in the act? SMDH
Wouldn't surprise me if this ends up happening more and more, especially out here in CA. Just go buy some beater astro van, cut a hole in the bottom, setup a pump and storage. Actually not a bad idea but I'm my wallets not hurting enough to risk that
Stick with a front wheel drive minivan, Astro is rear wheel drive, driveshaft will get in the way.
It will be
This same thing happened in California some years back. The only reason they got caught is because the thief was a smoker. 🔥

As of date, in Malaysia the price per litre for R95 petrol is USD 0.50 (MYR 2.00). It is appaling to know when the American needs to pay 10 times of that per litre.
Next, someone needs to create locking caps for the gas storage tank areas.
Thousands in gas? What, did some guy on a scooter fill his tank and leave without paying?
Travis , I understand ( I read between the lines ) 🤣 😂 😹
Wow! We have to give the thief props for a genius effort perfecting his craft. On the flip side, this has got to be the dumbest gas station clerk in the world. He saw a crime in progress, got all the evidence from the numerous times before but instead of calling the police, he single handledly ren out of the store to confront the guy. What exactly was his plan? Get an apology and shake hands before getting his head blown off? I can't believe I'm actually glad this dummy got woken up. He even said so himself that it was stupid to confront the suspect. I don't know how one survives life being that dumb. He's been lucky so far. Smh!
that's why he's a gas station clerk and not an engineer or doctor like the rest of the indians
That's because he's in on it. Insurance fraudsters.
@@brimmed wow, you created a UA-cam account and waited the day you can make that comment.
this is going to start getting more common as the prices start rising

I don't feel sorry for the gas station owner, gas should not be this high. I can imagine employees in the gas station stealing gas cause the price went up and our wages stay the same. If your not gonna pay people living wages, pay with increase crime rates.

NEVER EVER EVER chase after criminals. I understand that your angry and mad. But it’s not worth your life my brother. Call the police and let them do their job.
agree with chasing, but the police don't do jack for non-violent crimes. it's sickening.
Allentown Pennsylvania same deal, Only these guys were using an old Morning Call News Paper Delivery Truck they bought at auction. 5 275 gallon tanks inside 12 volt hjgh output pump, Park over Storage tanks Pop the lid and insert hose, I caught them at Daisy Hill Market one morning @2 am when I pulled in to make a Gasoline Delivery.Funny part was I was toping off tanks for tank testing cause owner thought they had a leak in Regular Tank..When I saw the hose under the truck I blocked them In with my tanker and called cops and station owner, Thieves took off running but were apprehended.
Wow!! I'd like to know how the insides of that van looks like. Sorry gas station guy but this is fascinating!
after he saw it the first time, why didn't he start parking his car over the covers? would have solved the problem. let them rob from someone else next time
fuel covers should be locked up I mean someone could come and pour water into the gasoline Supply
@@fredtello I'm pretty sure there's mechanisms for excluding water that gets in the tank from being put into cars. It does rain and flood in Houston after all.
robin hood
Oil heating companies here in Connecticut are charging $5 plus a gallon and if that ain’t robbery I don’t know what is !!
Blocking them in would have been "casual" and a sure-fire way to increase odds of catching the scumbag. Glad no one was physically harmed on this one; but people needs to be careful out there. Petrol-Pirates don't play around and may not run off like a scared little beach next time. Be careful.
Wow, now the gas station owner knows how we feel.
yuuuup, we the regular folks get robbed every day buying gas, food, etc.
thank you for an actuall inteligent comment.
you are truly awake
also WTF you doin up so late lol
Fool they also buy gas from large companies
The gas station owner makes less than a dollar per gallon. They are franchised. The station owner also pays a high price for the gasoline. The corporation and its shareholders make the vast majority of the profit. Theft only really harms the station owner, unless someone robs a train, refinery, or truck.
@@d00der41 were all broke, no one cares about gas station owners.
tell the shareholders to come work at the counter.
fucckthem all
The manager should buy and park a large heavy junker SUV or truck over the caps to the tanks to block access and move it only when his supply tanker truck delivers fuel.
That’s actually a good idea.
That's what I was thinking. Or at least get some pilons or saw horses to block off that area. Might not stop thieves but it will make it more obvious when someone wants to park there for a purpose.
Just put up some cones around the gas ports, then anybody who drive over the cones and stops for awhile should be reported to cops.
Suprised no one has been robbing gas tankers yet.
You're insured for the gas bro, running after them is asking to be shot. If you're that good, keep the gas 👍
