How come people who beg for gas at stations always seem to have a gas can?

Never seen anyone beg, but I have seen the aftermath of people who I guess need fuel, and go to the sno-park where your vehicle and snowmobile trailer are, and they drill holes in the bottom of your gas tank and drain all the gas.

Death penalty should apply in that situation.

I'd never carry a gas can in my trunk after I used it once.

How do you get gas home for the lawnmower?, I jut keep a towel to put under can in case any might on the outside..

Gas gauges are not always accurate, even on new vehicles.

Not only that, but it's usually the traveler that is affected. I have been on fumes at times when there was 100 miles between gas stations and I didn't realize that.

I don't buy gas in the ghetto.

Usually everyone carries a spare gas can in the back of the car for emergencies.

I'm 45 years old and have been driving since the early 80s and I've NEVER carried a spare gas can in the back of my car.

You're pumping gas into your new Q7 and go to your passenger seat to get something. You turn back to the pump and see a disheveled looking fellow approach. WHAT DO YOU DO? (he has no gas can).

I assume he's a disenfranchised black man in disguise and open fire.

Mine is woefully inaccurate as well, granted me car is getting a bit long in the tooth, but I have never run out of gas since I track my miles.

If somebody asked me for gas and I was in a good, giving mood I wouldn't give them cash, they would get exactly what they asked for.

That said I have never been asked for gas at the stations I have been to.

Sprayed with gas and lit on fire?
