Default Petrol Thief Sets Himself Alight

So this happened a few streets from me, saw it unfold on a Facebook community page. Seems it's gotten national attention now, understandably too, as the video footage of the would be thief doing the hot shoe shuffle is pretty funny!

Its good to see theives get what they deserve. When i was a kid the next door neighbour was a petrol theif, plenty of people in the neighbourhood had jerry cans stolen and even petrol siphoned form their tanks. Dad decided he would try and catch who it was by half filling a petrol can with hydraulic fluid and adding a little bit of petrol to the top to give it the smell. sure enough it got knocked off and the next day the neighbour's POS ute blew the engine. Culprit found, got what he deserved and cost him alot more money than the value of petrol he stole. Karma.

I helped a worker at a Wrecking Yard, when he ignited. Oily overalls, MIG welder in hand, and an open container of fuel.......��
I grabbed his overalls at the top , and ripped down to his feet. His skin had melted down over his boots. I could see his tattoos, from his calf/shin, on the boots. All over in 10 seconds.
