Spontaneous Combustion


An up-state New York man was caught allegedly stealing gasoline using a siphon hose. He might have gotten away with it, if he hadn't accidentally set himself on fire.

The sheriff's department says he 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 in the blaze.

Interestingly, this is our hero's second arrest in a month for the same offense. Burned up a forklift this time around, not to mention the skin regeneration experiment he's working on at the moment. Third time's a charm? Potential Darwin honoree?

It's a shame that somebody lost a perfectly good forklift in the process.
