Why Stealing Gas Doesn't Pay (funny)
Today I watched a car being pulled out of a canal. Here is the story behind it-
This guy had been stealing gas from a certain farmer for quite some time. Farmer finally got ticked off and emptied his fuel tank and refilled with water. The thief went back today for some more free gas and filled up. Gets a short ways down the road and his car dies, so he steals another car because he doesn't want to walk.
Driving the stolen car, he turns onto a graveled levee road where the fast-flowing, very deep canal is. Guns the motor to fly down the road but obviously did not notice the big mud puddle, so when he hits the gas the two right tires hit the mud and the two left ones are on gravel. He loses control and ends up in the canal.
He gets out and starts walking home, dripping wet. He calls the cops to report his car (the one with water in gas tank) stolen and when they come to investigate they notice he is all wet.
At about the same time the cop gets a report of a car being driven into a canal, called in by some fishermen who were fishing a bit further up the canal. He puts 2 and 2 together and arrests the guy.
A towing company showed up at the canal with a big truck-mounted crane, and started fishing for the car with what looked like a HUGE fishhook on a cable. They got the fishhook snagged on a rung of one of the safety ladders bolted to the cement wall to help people escape when they end up in the canal. In trying to dislodge it, they lost the hook. So they hitched up a tow chain with a smaller hook and continued to fish, finally extracting a brand-new Explorer, leather seats, sunroof and shiny black. The body of the car was in pretty good shape, but the towing company decided to set it down on its roof and roll it onto its wheels, smashing everything. I think by the way the chain was, there was no way to get it to set on its wheels any other way.
It has been quite an interesting afternoon.
