Lol. “Dim Bulbs”. I guess its less destructive and you can walk in and out without leaving a real mark. I would rather brute force the key less ignition signals. Stealing a $70,000 Mercades would be more profitable than stealing $50 in gas IMO.

Pull up, pop off the cap that covers the tanks, use a high volume pump to fill a huge tank in the bed of a pickup/van, profit.

I think just the volume of it would be tough since you cant simply put it in your engine and are left to try to sell fuel out of the back of your truck Plus, wouldn’t you notice if you looked over at Delta Sonic at 3 am and saw someone pumping gas into the bed of his trunk from the ground?
