Hmmm. Couldn't it just as easily be a failure of the underground storage tank?

Coinciding with the security camera getting 'stuck'?

I guess anything is possible.

If so, somjebodys in for a major cleanup expense. I shudder to think of what it would take to clean up 7000 gallons of underground gasoline leakage. Theft should be evident by whether the locks were still on the filler caps or not, I would think. I kinda doubt that anyone could hide that much leakage by pretending it was a theft; for very long anyway.

I don't believe it is possible for 7300 gallons to seep out into the ground overnight.

EPA would be on site, the station shut down and digging up the tanks would be ongoing.

Overnight almost 8,000 gallons does not disappear unless a catatrophic failure of the tank occurs. Chance of this imho: slim and none.

I smell terrorism and I think they need this fuel (read:explosive) for another OKC type of bomb blast.

Would all the tanks leak at the same time?
