don’t steal the gas
Woman Who Stole Fuel Ordered to Wear Sign [ap via abc, july 30, 2004]A woman who stole $4.52 worth of fuel was ordered to stand outside the gas station Friday wearing a sandwich board sign that declared: “I was caught stealing gas.”
this means that there’s no mandatory sentence for stealing less than $5 of fuel, giving the judge in the case some room for… judgement.
at least she wasn’t put in prison.
i imagine the sandwich board cost more than the gas, tho…
