Suspected AZ thief catches fire while siphoning gas, crashes truck into garage

Suspected AZ thief catches fire while siphoning gas, crashes truck into garage

Stealing gas is a bad idea. Using a homemade electrically-powered device to steal gas from other people's cars is a very bad idea. Mesa, Arizona police say Herbert C. Ridge was doing just that when his spark of innovation actually sparked and ignited the fuel being siphoned. According to reports, Ridge's shirt caught fire and he rolled in the street in an effort to extinguish the flames. Having no luck, Ridge, still on fire, raced back to his truck for a getaway attempt.

Getting into a vehicle while on fire is not, by the way, a recommended method of extinguishing flames.
