Gas thief sets himself on FIRE while trying to siphon gas from box truck in Salt Lake City parking lot
June 16, 2022
Excerpt:
"Authorities believe the man was using a drill in order to access the gas tank during which a spark ignited the flammable liquid.
Static electricity, or sparks caused by the friction from the drill bit against the gas tank are most likely to blame for the spontaneous combustion of the gas.
The truck was parked outside Summit Fire and Protection and had already had its catalytic converter stolen when this second thief came to steal the gas in broad daylight."
