Friday Humor: Could this turn out to be the most expensive tank of gas ever?

Some free advice for any would-be thieves out there: if you steal a car and then return it, don't leave a trail of receipts behind. Considering that most every gas station has security cameras these days, it probably was not that hard to locate the perp who stole the truck in question, which he then traded for a SUV. When he traded vehicles, he left his gas station receipt behind, which the cops were able to use to fetch a video of their thief in the act of pumping gas. When the story was first printed, the authorities had not yet captured the man, but with a clear picture of him, they likely will.
