Default Petrol Station Drive Off - Owned on the net

Have a read of this thread. The guy did a drive off but he and the servo owner are members of the same car forum. When the owner posted pics of the drive off, he got busted.

I wonder if this Intellectual realises he is stealing? Or maybe he thinks it is ok because he doesn't know the people? Someone HAS to pay for this? does he think the Petrol company will ABSORB this cost? Dum dum for sure.

It really appeals to my sense of humour that this idiot mods his car and fits personalised plates to make him unique and stand out in a crowd and then commits a crime in it......

Folks are dumb where I come frum........

What a bloody tool.

Nothing eventuated from that thread or the ausrotary thread though.. so it's not 'owned' yet.. it's 'owned' when he gets caught and deported for being a stain in the gene pool.

If he can't afford petrol, wtf is he doing with a rotor? (apart from sticking to stereotypes!)

All the above

seriously though, anyone that drives off when everyone knows there are cameras around are plain stupid...

The thread was an interesting read, especially the story about the mother being pushed in a family owned servo... That is not a tool, that is pure scum.

I once drove off by accident. Didn't even think twice, just spun the car round and went back. They have camera's everywhere. Of course they will track you down!

Yes and the copper in there who was trying to lay the blame on the servo operator thinks it's toooooo hard to catch the grubs responsible. Fair dinkum, it's not like hes not getting paid to do his job isn't he. It's probably one of the easiest jobs to do, much better than going to a fatal.

My 18 year old POS brother in law got done for it along with a bunch of his POS mates.

Someone pinched some plates of a car and then they got shared around this bunch of tools so they could all do drive offs at servo's around Frankston.

Frankston Traffic Ops are very active in the area because of the HUGE hoon problem in the SE suburbs. They got a rash of drive offs reported and investigated and identified a few of the cars invovled which were all wearing these stolen plates. Sure enough they pull over one of the group and found the stolen plates on his back seat. Whoops! Needless to say being arrested and questioned loosened his jaw a little and the whole group got taken down.

Turns out POS Brother-in-law has a track records of doing it including doing it in his dads car and being a the smart kid he was he did at the servo's down the road from his place 500m away. All in all he racked up $350 worth of drive off's. He did because he didn't have the money to pay for the fuel. Cops did his for stolen property, going equipped and theft. Judge went nuts, brother in law filled his pants but lawyer did his job and he got off with a $900 in fines (love the irony of that). Judge actually said that they are geting tougher on this because the number of drive offs is increasing like wild fire.

B-I-L ended losing his license anyway (p platers only get 6 points in Vic).

That's really funny, what a jerk.

My mother once drove off without paying, by mistake. The police came to her house and they were good about it, she just wasn't thinking when it happened. She went straight back and paid and no worries. But she got a fright.

happended to my boyfriend, went in to pay after getting it and brought something in there as well (like a drink or something along those lines) and the idiot at the counter only charged him for the drink not the petrol. paid by card so didnt think it to be odd.... the guy at the servo knows who we hang out with and a mate went in there and the servo guy goes "your mate the one with the EA can you ring him and tell him he gotta come back and pay for his petrol"....
so sometimes its not from the stupidity of the customer , its the person at the servo lol

I was hoping that guy that was posting as if he was a cop, isn't actually one.

It is morons like him that give decent Police Officers a bad name...

That bloke is almost as big a tool as the one that stole the fuel and both aren't quite as big a tool as the one that pushed the woman and owed the $300 odd dollars.

I dont understand why this guy hasn't been caught yet, everyone knows who owns the car. Agree Fiery, I dont think I would have been able to have as much constraint if someone had been pushing my mother around.

hmmmm nothing new... people have done this for years.... two things come to mind.
(1) Stealing petrol is wrong - as the owner has to pay.
But
(2) Petrol co's have us over a barrel and steal from us ever day

I fail to fully understand why in Malaysia, I can buy 1 litre of petrol for 80cents? sure lower living standards/wages/tax etc etc, but jesus, soon we'll all have to fly to fill up cars. Really does it cost an extra 60c a litre to get it to Aust??

Hands up wow goes "right on" when a bank gets robbed, hmmm perhaps its only me.

In this case I can't use that as an excuse as the owner is out of pocket, if it was the petrol co's I would go right on... (and am sure they would be tons more)

Take banks for example. if every Aust took there money out of there banks for just one day, you would have reduced interest, and charges et al. becuase the banks would be in big trouble (and so would the economy..which is the only pit fall)
