Double-swiping the rewards card led to free gas for months — and a felony theft charge - eviltoast

A Nebraska woman allegedly found a lucrative quirk at a gas station pump — double-swipe the rewards card and get free gas!

Unfortunately for her, you can’t do that, prosecutors said. The 45-year-old woman was arrested March 6 and faces felony theft charges accusing her of a crime that cost the gas station nearly $28,000.

Prosecutors say the woman exploited the system over a period of several months. Police learned of the problem in October when the loss-prevention manager at Bosselman Enterprises reported that the company’s Pump & Pantry in Lincoln had been scammed.

    The police works for the government. The government operates by laws. The woman clearly, knowingly, and with intent, set out to commit fraud.

    No. There’s no doubt in my mind that you give shit about what’s actually factual. That much is obvious.
