A man who was trying to steal gas from a parked up box truck accidentally set himself ablaze in the process as fuel prices continue to soar.

The shocking incident was all caught on surveillance camera footage as the man could be seen attempting to siphon fuel from the tank of a vehicle next to which he had parked his own white pickup in Salt Lake City.

Authorities believe the man was using a drill in order to access the gas tank during which a spark ignited the flammable liquid.

Fire protection indeed! Only this time it seems that it meant protecting the gas by setting the thief on fire. If it were me, not that I ever would, I would probably come up with a spike to puncture the tank instead of drilling which creates heat and maybe sparks. But then I never really tried to win a Darwin Award.

Electric motors have internal sparks? Who knew?!
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.
