Got siphoned today

Made a stop tonite at the local Wal-Mart. Parked as usual out in the middle of nowhere so some retread doesn't cream the truck.

Was only in there about a minute, line ups were just a little to stupid for me to stand there for a half hour.

As I walked out of the store, looked across the parking lot for my truck like I always do and noticed an older Chevy pickup parked right along side of mine. Could make out a person moving between them so I took a slightly longer route back to my truck only at a slightly faster pace.

Came around the backside of mine opposite from where I would have normally come. Dude had his back to me sucking on a hose stuck down my filler neck. I throttled the dude with everything I had right in the back of the head. Smashed his face into the side of my truck, he swallowed how ever much diesel he did and the dude was puking his guts up not having a clue as to what hit him.

Not to many of you have ever met me, but I'm about 6' 1" and 320 lbs and at the time, real mad!!!

Anyways, stood there on his head while I gave the cops a call. While they were on the way, smoked this guy a couple of more times just to make sure he got the point. Cops showed, picked the guy up and asked what happened to his face. Told him he was siphoning fuel out of my truck, must have spilled some and slipped on it. I found him laying here.

I knew he didn't believe me but I knew he wasn't going to argue. Gave him my statement and they hauled him off.

Looked like all I lost was what he barfed up, he can have that. Not quite yet ready to run bio diesel!

Guess I have to put the locking cap back on!!!

Im glad you caught the guy! At $3.00 a gallon it aint cost-effective to be siphoned.

Ouch. Remind me never to steal fuel from your truck.

Hope there's no Cochrane officers with CTDs on this forum or you're busted.

If it were only $3 a gallon where he lives...its more than that.

Good Job Jeff....exactly what I would have done.

God have mercy on the soul of the person that siphons fuel out of my tank because I sure as heck won't! Your a lot nicer than I would have been. I probably would have broke his jaw if I caught him doing that to mine. Puking up diesel would have been the least of his worries.

The Chevy he was driving was an older 6.5. Looked like he was going to go tank to tank,he only had a hose. Cops said they are not looking forward to this becoming a more constant epidemic.

The thought of just hammering the dude into the next province crossed my mind a few times while I was standing on his head waiting for the police. I got a few good shots in instead. Don't think the lady in the Buick that drove by while this was happening really understood what was going on.

He was a little munchkin type guy, I know I sure suprised him when I rung his bell from out of nowhere. There wouldn't have been much of a fight, I kind of look like Scotty only with a little more neck!

It really irks me that "WE ALL" have to bust our humps to pay to many taxes let alone try and make a living, and then some pinhead loser thinks he can ride for free on my dime. No way, the dude can make his own bio sludge while puking a hose full of my diesel.

I'm still steamed but I'll get of the box now.

Jeff

Great story! What does "throttled the dude in the back of the head" actually mean? Just curious what you did as you approached. I love reading stories like this. Those of us that have had vehicles, car stereos, or various other things stolen out of our vehicles only can fantasize about actually catching someone in the act!

Unfortunatly all of my dreams of the illegals that stole our truck end with me in jail. I'm somewhat of a realist when it comes to results.
