petrol station drive off

[73gscoupe]

Well i went down to the local safeway servo to put gas into the Xf, and im at the back of the car waiting for it to fill (damn gas takes ages), and a pulsar pulls in behind me. Happen to notice this bloke has used masking tape to selectively cover parts of the letters and numbers to change his rego plate. Looked at the rego sticker to see if the plates were legit to start with, and they were. I figure he is probably a citylink user, as they are the only ones who photograph the front plate.

Anyway this bloke fills his tank to the brim with about $50 of petrol, and then has to sit there and wait (as im in front of him). I go into pay, and the woman tries to charge me for his fuel as well as the $20 of gas. I pay the $20 for gas, walk out, and this bloke is scratching around in his car.

Fire up the xf, pull out, and this guy pulls out behind me.

Now he didnt prepay, or the woman wouldnt have tried to charge me for his fuel. and he sure as hell didnt pay after i walked out of the servo.

To me, stealing is stealing, I would never drive off without paying. But am curious to know if there are any people on here who would consider this.

Also what does the servo do in these cases? are they powerless to enforce people pay for fuel? If they do have your rego, what do they do with it?
