If you ain’t smart enough to fix up your common senses, please abandon the ambition of being a thief. Just when you thought stealing nickels is stupid.

THURMAN, N.Y. - A tip for would-be gasoline thieves. When stealing gas in the dark, don’t use a lighter to see how you’re doing. Police in Warren County say that’s what Glen Germain Junior did when he was siphoning gas from a dump truck at a business in the Adirondacks last month.

The sheriff’s department says Germain was transferring the fuel from the truck to a gas can when he used a lighter to see how full the container had become.

That sparked a fire that caused minor burns to his face and hands.

If you want to steal, be a smart one. Like the Enron guy (who got caught). Or be accomplice, like the Arthur Andersen company(whose web site has been greatly reduced to a front page).

  2. Well, better be a smart one. I think I’ll sure make mistakes if I am a thief, doubt I can pull it off. I always feel being good guy is easier than being the bad guy. Being a good guy, you can be as stupid as you want. You just don’t go wrong, lol
