Times are tough for everyone, that’s a fact. Despite rising prices for electricity, tolls and fuel, not to mention everything else, motorists are finding it increasingly difficult to make ends meet. While gasoline and diesel have finally come in a little less expensive than expected after the 30 cent discount ended, they are still very expensive, much more so than they were a few years ago. Indeed, it is difficult to find a liter below the mark of 1.60 euros, while at some service stations the cost even exceeds two euros. Suffice it to say that the situation is difficult for many, so much so that some even have to cut back on their trips, as was the case at the beginning of the year.

The French are punished by supply interruptions at service stations.

Thus, the government continues the discount of 30 centimes/l at gas stations until mid-November.@TotalEnergies also extends its discount of 20 centimes/l for the same period. pic.twitter.com/u7EdYWGliB

Failed attempt

But the situation is also forcing some to exceed the limits, while thefts and other thefts have increased in recent months. But the story we are telling you today is even more unusual than the others. Because this time the thief is not a small bandit, but the other way around. It will take place this Monday, November 28, Fr Clermont-Ferrand in Puy-de-Dôme. That evening, the truck driver in the Gravanche sector returns to his company’s depot with his truck to end his day’s work, as he does every day. But around 4 a.m., he was surprised when he was pumping out the tank of the same truck he was driving to make his deliveries. The latter was then parked near his car, which attracted the witness’s attention.

.

More than 20 liters

To commit the crime, the criminal used an electric pump to pump out the tank, connected to the canister. A total of twenty liters were stolen until the employee was surprised. In the end it was taken into custody and was brought up in June 2023 to appear on a preliminary plea. The story doesn’t say if he was fired, but there’s a very good chance he was, since theft is considered gross negligence under employment law.

#fuel |⚠️ Prefect Fr#Ain calls Indians to account.
To avoid overstocking stress:
➡️from 11.10 to 7.00 and until 21.10, the sale and purchase of fuel in manually moved containers is prohibited.
