Chap I know's mother planted some flowers in the front garden. Next morning, some scumbags had robbed them. Gotta love Jobstown.

Some people are really just that cheap. A polish guy was killed 2 (?) years ago after confronting two scumbags who were trying to siphon diesel from his truck.

There was a thread on boards.ie about how low people can go, and some moron posted some shitty response with little to no content that was not very constructive and it had the word 'Fail' in it, in reference to the internet meme. The user posted this in an attempt to be funny. Pretty pathetic if you ask me.

The post is here.

Well seeing that the source has to be higher than the container....I'd say pretty damn low! You might have to crouch.

Jaysus I had to do this in Australia when I filled a petrol van (c'mon it was a Lite-ace, should never have been petrol:o) with diesel...
I was sick for a fookin week:eek:

How you could do it for what, maybe 50 yoyo's worth of juice, is beyond me!!
Then again, I was probably doing it wrong..:rolleyes:

Ouch.

I genuinely do want to know what was in the email that she sent around about people in the car park. I'm guessing that the petrol was syphoned from the car because of a snotty email rather than because of the price of a litre of unleaded. I think creating a thread that says "petrol was syphoned from my friends car because of an email" and then not including the details of the email is a bit lame.

So, seriously kearnsr, what was in the email that provoked such a reaction?

I'm surprised her petrol tank has no lock on it. If all those cars are the same it could just as easily be any scumbag targeting those types of cars due to easy access.
