I think this crime is more common than we know.

I think this conspiracy goes deeper than we think. I'm always hearing old people talk about getting gas regularly.

Obviously I'm not expecting a complete how to, but I'd like to know a little bit more about how he did it.

I'd assume that the filler cap for the underground tanks would have some sort of lock on it - maybe this is a wrong assumption.

I'd also assume that there would be some degree of fiddling about getting the pump into the tank and I'm wondering how that wasn't noticed. The article says he was tinkering under the hood.
