Fiery night for accused petrol thief
Man accused of trying to steal petrol from vehicle uses cigarette lighter for vision, causing car to catch alight
29 August 2005
Police say a would-be thief in Hawke's Bay was lucky not to blow himself up.
Hastings police were called to a farm around 2am, after a man was seen trying to steal petrol from a vehicle.
He was using a cigarette lighter to see what he was doing, but held the flame too close to the petrol fumes and the car caught alight.
A 19-year-old has been charged with theft.

Genius. He should have taken some engineering classes before starting his fuel quest. Although, with gas prices here in La Jolla, CA, at $3.00………..
