Thief caught on camera bursting into flames while trying to steal gas in Utah amid record price surge

By Lee Brown
June 17, 2022

He really paid a high price for gas.

A Utah thief desperate to get ever-pricier gas was caught on camera drilling into a truck’s tank — then partially bursting into flames.

Shocking footage obtained by KSL TV first showed a white pickup pulling up next to a truck in the parking lot of — ironically — a fire protection company.

“The guy tried to siphon gas out of it and he wasn’t getting the siphon to work,” fed-up Summit Fire and Protection branch manager Travis Mills told the outlet.

“So he decided to drill the gas tank … and that’s when he caught on fire,” he said of the Saturday morning blaze.

Darn.  No Darwin award this time.  But at least he got a taste of what Eternity will be like.

Pretty ironic when you consider the name of the company on the truck...

The problem was, when he couldn't get the syphon to work he should have asked his accomplice for a match, so he could check the fuel level.

I notice his 'accomplice' stayed in the truck with the A/C running while his partner was experiencing uncomfortably high temperatures around his face.
