Imagine the huge explosion and fireball if a kid threw a Roman candle at one of those vans. Light them up!
:suspicious:

No.

Why would it blow up the van? The gas tanks aren't just leaking gas as they drive. In order for a roman candle to do anything, they would need to have a damaged containment vessel, a damaged outer wall of the van, the perfect stoichiometric ratio and only then would a roman candle = BOOM.

Thanks for the explanation dared3vil0. It all makes sense now.

A roman candle would not work.

Does anybody have an RPG? -just kidding. :)

All major banks have chip and pin but all customers do not. So do not want to give it up. Also sometimes the chip does not work. You also have cards from America.

If they were smart they would go to 5-10 different stations and full up 80L each. Instead of filling all 1000L up at once.

that also means they're caught on camera 10x more... At the same time though - you would think that they wouldn't be stupid enough to fill up 1000L at once.

At some point when the cards expire, they will get a Chip/Pin. Once you have CHIP/PIN it doesn't mean the machines can't accept cards without it. You would just swipe. The US is backwards on everything anyways. For the longest time they didn't have debit/interact.

They still don't know what debit is.

Edit: Them Americans sure know what credit is! :troll:

I was shocked when I saw an Murican paying at the till with a cheque at the Target in Bellis Fair.
And she wrote a big cheque and got cash back from the cashier. :ahwow:

Bad quality clip:

Oil men - its always sunny - YouTube
After watching that, it's obvious that the green men are the masterminds behind these gas thefts.

The van involved in the Knight and 57th one was a mini van. There was a lot more cops there but they all left.
