WACKY-BUT-TRUE: DON'T USE A LIGHTER NEAR GASOLINE
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 Germany say that’s what a man did when he was siphoning gas from a dump truck at a business. The man 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. The fire spread to a nearby forklift, which was destroyed.
