did a runner from..........a garage in Southampton after filling my petrol tanks. this was during the summer of 95 at a small independent garage. I was a student down there and was fucking skint.
It kind of became a habit to drive over to this garage(which had no cameras), park at the pump which was furthest from the shop, casually fill up and casually drive out. But on this one occasion, with only a few quid in my pocket and when i had almost filled my tanks, I notice the man look in my direction. I stared back and continued to fill up. Once i had filled up, i jumped in my car and drove out as quick as possible trying to keep my car parralel to the attendant for as long as possible, so he would be unable to read the reg. I then drove to bournemouth and took acid on bournemouth beach.
two days later police turn up at my house, asking why i had done a runner from the garage-watermelon! they told me that i must go to Bitterne police station on saturday to explain myself.
Now here is where the lies start! Once at the police station i was interviewed, with everything recorded to tape-which is still at my mums. I then proceeded to tell them that 'yes, I had indeed been to that garage on that night, but i certainly had not filled my petrol tanks, let alone commit robbery, i had only stopped to get a drink. i told them I had got into an argument with the attendant about the price of a can of coke. where i was ashamed to admit to the copper that i had got rather upset with his rudeness, called him a packie and told him to go watermelon himself. With the Police being a little racist at times, i thought this could get there sympathy. It certainly did, but not to the extent of them dropping the charges.
I was then summoned to go to Southampton Magistrates court in the autumn, where i was defended by a man who through some stroke of luck was a distant relative. He did not believe my story though. I went to the prelimanry hearing and pleaded not guilty. A week before the case proper my mother(who now knew)found a credit card statement with two payments at the same garage(not the one i robbed) on the day in question for petrol. She excitedly called me and said she had filled my petrol tank on that day. she obviously hadn't, but had done the weekend before and i guess the garage hadn't put the payment through until the week after. this evidence was presented to my lawyer and subsequently to the police and prosecution, whereby all charges were dropped! the garage paid my court costs and lose of income from a market research company i worked for at the time! Fucking result! I did not feel any guilt and still do not. i even went back to the garage to gloat, they barred me for life!
Oh and before the p'c' brigade get all in a fluff, i am most definately not a racist, my girlfriend of the time was bengali and she encouraged my line of defence.

Guiltwheres the guilt? Should I be sorry for stealing £20 worth of petrol when i was 20? I feel guilt for lieing to my mother, but Fuk the garage-like i was gonna get a crim record for that. couldn't do it now though. no ones perfect pal and besides I thought this was a confession of our worst lies? no one hurt except a garage's finances-about 600 quid.

not only did you rip off someonewho will end up covering the cost, you've lied in court - other people end up paying for shit like this! if you couldn't afford petrol, why did you have a car when you were a student?
sorry if this is harsh, but I'm disgusted. I've told some lies but nothing like this.

A little bitof guilt would be more endearing.
I'd be more sympathetic and amused if it was some big global you'd ripped off, but not some independent trader who you not only stole from, but then perverted the course of justice to rip off further.

lamagicI'm on your side, maybe it's because I'm a wee bit selfish, but I agree with you, no guilt. Yeah, I would tell you you shouldn't have done it, but you did and got away with it. GO YOU

I think......that rocks. How can people be *that* pissed about something he did when he was younger? Did it affect any of you in any way? Were any of you said gas station owner? No? Surprise. When I was 14 I stole a girls shoe and wouldn't give it back until she snogged me. Nowadays I think that's called rape. Possibly. Should I be chastised for it? Probably. I'll shut up now.
