I got this in an email from a friend of mine. We've had it happen in Johnston Co a couple times. With the economy getting worse and gas still climbing, it's only going to get worse folks...Beware

****************************************************************

 A woman said her son found his license plate missing so he called the police to file a report. They told him people were stealing the plates to get free gas. Given the rise in gas prices, people have taken to stealing license plates, putting them on their car, then getting gas and running. The gas station will have "your" license plate # and you could be in trouble for "pump and run." Check your car periodically to be sure you still have a plate. If you should find it missing, file a report immediately!!! Keep an eye on your license plate! Make sure you always know it's there! When the license plate is reported as the "drive off vehicle", it's YOU they contact! Be aware!!!! Be aware of your license plates, most of us never look to see if the plates are there or not.

Don't anyone really booby trap your car or you are liable for injury/death.

If I did it, I would forget, and out of habit, go out and get juiced.

Steve, I'm just speechless. ROFL

Actually I haven't even heard of any gas drive offs in the last 8-12 months. Could be longer. You'd have to be crazy to allow people to pump first.

I don't know of any gas stations that allow people to pump without paying first. I haven't noticed an increase in stolen tags.

or everyone move to NJ where they pump your gas for you at EVERY station :)

there's a gas station in Clayton that pumps your gas for you too. it's a rare breed anymore. way way back in the day, I was a full service attendant

(yes...there is one station in Henderson that will still pump your gas for ya')

I vouch for that........
