Thief Comes to Watery End

LegalView's DumbJustice - Dumb Criminal


On Thursday night a thief broke into a cemetery and drained 200 gallons of water, worth about $50, from a tank. Thing is, he thought he was draining gasoline.

Back in July, 225 gallons of gasoline was drained from the same tank and police believe the thief returned to repeat his crime. Sadly for him, however, following the July theft, the cemetery maintenance supervisor decided to move the gasoline elsewhere, and the tank is now used to store water.

Police are looking for whoever stole the water; $600 in damages was caused when the meter attached to the tank was smashed.
