He really paid a high price for gas.
A Utah thief desperate to get ever-pricier gas was caught on camera drilling into a truck’s tank — then partially bursting into flames.
Shocking footage obtained by KSL TV first showed a white pickup pulling up next to a truck in the parking lot of — ironically — a fire protection company.
“The guy tried to siphon gas out of it and he wasn’t getting the siphon to work,” fed-up Summit Fire and Protection branch manager Travis Mills told the outlet.
“So he decided to drill the gas tank … and that’s when he caught on fire,” he said of the Saturday morning blaze.
The dramatic footage showed the unidentified thief under the rear of the truck — then suddenly jumping up and running away with his T-shirt ablaze.
He then fell to the ground and rolled across the parking lot, before his accomplice in the pickup helped him to get back in.
It was not clear how injured the thief was, or if he was ever identified or found. However, Mills stressed that the raider was lucky the truck was close to empty at the time.

Looks a lot like one of Obama’s sons.

He’s got a lot of junk in the back of his pickup. Maybe it was Lamont Sanford.

He abandoned his partially-burnt shirt. Could be some fingerprints or other DNA on there that would help catch him if he had any priors.
...or if anyone cares any more.

No doubt there’s plenty of burnt flesh stuck to the shirt they could test. Anyway, I’m sure his burns are bad enough he’ll have to seek medical help. ER’s are supposed to report stuff like that.
