I've been parking my car in a parking lot, and someone has been stealing gas from my car. I came up with an idea. I siphoned all the gas from my car into a tank, and mixed it with some stuff which will surely destroy anyone's car. I left the tank on the back seat of my car with an open window, and with a note, "friend I was using your car, and gas ran out I left a tank with gas for you, the car window is broken, sorry"...

Anyway, the person who had been stealing my car's gas took the gas, it was mixed with cement, some glue, and few other things that will surely destroy car engines...

I went back to my office, and almost forgot about it. When I came back it was 6pm, and there was a white car not very far where I had my car parked. It turns out she was my boss, and she was upset, I didn't know why she was there, and there was some mechanic inspecting her vehicle, he said to her that the car’s engine is busted, and he was shocked to see it in that condition. He said something like "I have never seen any engine with cement and other stuff before"...

It was a brand new car, she bought it 3 weeks ago...I had no idea she was siphoning gas from my car... I feel so bad, Should I tell her what I put in my gas tank?

I feel so bad.

She did it to herself. She never would have been in any trouble if she hadn't been dishonest and a thief in the first place. ITs a case of her being her own worst enemy.

Yes, a locking gas cap would have been a good move but I think this will be a longer lasting lesson for her. Somehow I doubt she will ever do this again. (laughing my ass off)

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

Lovely. Utterly, utterly lovely. I'm sorry, but if people want to talk Karma, that's karma right there. *Especially* with her being a boss, she should have *asked* before taking if she was out of gas, regardless of if she's the one who was siphoning before.

If it gets to you that much, but a locking gas cap, but don't go feeling awful over this. Totally not your fault.

That's a good idea. I think I will do that if someone ever steals gas from my car. I would honestly feel good, not bad, if I was in the poster's situation.

Likewise, if someone started stealing my lunches at work, I would fill my drink and possibly food with laxatives.

It's sweeter justice than the person simply getting arrested for the crime.

[Raxozanne]

HAHAHAHA

That story made my day.

I so hope its true.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'E')vidently it does not matter in America, that you give people the benefit of the doubt, you would rather appoint yourselves judge ... jury ... and executioneer on the spot.

[Specop_007]

OMG. Specops day is a bit better. Job WELL done.

[Andrew_S]

Don't feel guilty.

Good way to teach a thief a lesson.

Don't tell anyone what you did, if it might get you in trouble.

Well done! :thumbs up:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'Y')ou people got what you deserve with the Patriot Act. Your behaviour is indicative of a society that does not want or deserve rights.
You are incapable of forgiving those that trespass against you.

[DerelictOverlord]

Next time you want to lace some gas may I suggest about 1/2 cup of sugar per gallon of gas? You don't need to put all that other crap in there.

One other note. I do have locking gas caps but I'm not certain that is the best alternative. Thievs today have little regard for your property and will think nothing of poking a hole in your plastic tank. Stealing gas isn't the innocent teenage prank it used to be.

[Matrim]

Doesn't matter if the boss was "the siphoner" she still took a can of gas from another persons car without permission. Nor did the can say anything remotely like "take me" it basically appeared to have been left for the owner of the car by a friend as payback for gas used earlier.

Anyway I honestly don't really care about this I just thought your overly righteous responses to this post merited my own response because I disagree with you in almost every way.

No thoughts on the relative morality of it all, but I will say this:
Sugar won't work. It doesn't disolve well in gasoline, the worst that happens is a plugged fuel filter.
Solids like cement are more likely to plug fuel filters than do anything else.
Linseed oil is the key.

Raphael...

My respect for you is dropping...fast.

I would have made some sort of explosive that would only trigger if someone picked up the gas can.

The gas can would have a sign that said, "Steal me and die".

But that's only because I'm not in a particularly good mood at the moment.

Good, they will have a lesson learned from this. Far better than using lethal force. Now whoever they talk to will learn not to steal gas too. Keep up the good work.
