Camper van thief siphons off raw sewage instead of diesel
By Calum Macdonald



A BUNGLING thief tried to siphon diesel from a camper van but got a mouthful of raw sewage.

The would-be raider missed the fuel tank in the dark and put a tube into the van's septic tank by mistake.

And after sucking up the foul-smelling waste, he threw up on the spot and fled.

Pensioner John O'Hare found a puddle of vomit and an abandoned petrol container when he stepped out of the van in the morning.

And last night he smiled: 'I hope the thief has learned from his experience and given up his evil ways.'

John, 73, and wife May, 69 of Arden, Glasgow had spent a week touring Scotland before stopping off for the final night of their holiday in Helensburgh, Dunbartonshire.

John said: 'We made sure everything was safe and secure and settled down for the night. The following morning we were disgusted to find that under the cover of darkness a thief had attempted to siphon off diesel from the fuel tank.

'But fortunately for us, he was left with a nasty taste in his mouth.'

John found a plastic siphon tube and an empty fuel container next to their camper.

The contents of the septic tank had been drained and lay on the ground next to a pool of the thief's vomit. Also abandoned at the scene was a pile of pound coins which John believes may have been stolen from a vending machine earlier in the night.

John and May donated the abandoned pound coins to Oxfam.

John said: 'We hope this thief will give up robbing visitors and tourists seeking a peaceful and pleasant holiday after what happened to him.'

Very funny, I know. So has anyone else try to break the law to unexpected, and perhaps unpleasent results?

Friends of mine has two very large Rottweillers with the wimpiest barks you'd ever want to hear. The dogs themselves are kinda on the wimpy side too, but unless you know these dogs, you just see to big mean looking dogs.

Last year, they went on vacation, and left the dogs in the house, because of my schedule, I couldn't get there everyday to walk the dog, so they left the doggie door unlocked for the dogs, then I'd walk them while I was there and feed them. Which was every other day.

I left the dogs on a Wednesday and when I came back on Friday, I walked in the front door and I wasn't attacked. There was also a strange car in the driveway. I walked to the dogs room in the back, and there was a strange man cowering in the corner as the dogs were sitting there talking to him.

Cops called, man arrested (he admitted to arriving in thehouse Thursday morning, he'd been in the house, cornered by these dogs, who only wanted to play, for more than 24 hours.

Hopefully he learned his lesson. (I know I nearly died of a heart attack.)

Funny story, thanks phred. :)

Same thing happened a few years back, but it was caught on tape.
I saw it on one of those hidden camera shows they used to show on Fox or FX.
A guys' gas kept getting siphoned from his camper, so he set up a hidden camera to catch the thief red handed.
Worked too, with the same results as above.
