Gasoline heist foiled by diesel fuel


Gas is expensive and if you plan on stealing it, you'd better make sure you don't get diesel fuel by mistake. Two men in Indiana were arrested on felony charges after their getaway was apparently spoiled because their car wouldn't run.

Two men who tried to steal gasoline from a construction company instead filled the tank of their car with off-road-grade diesel fuel Sunday, police said.

An employee of Beer & Slabaugh spotted the men on the company property near Nappanee, about 20 miles southeast of South Bend, as they were siphoning fuel out of a car's tank, Elkhart County deputies said.

The two told the employee that a friend had put the wrong fuel into the tank and they were trying to empty it, authorities said. The employee noticed that the fuel was the distinctive red color of off-road diesel.
