Stop in for a cup of coffee

It was in the seventies and the oil embargo was in full swing. Gas theft was rampant. I learned later that his nephew was shot and killed by gas thief’s. At the same station.
A friend of mine had it down, had a van with a hole/hatch in the floor. He would park over the gas fills, open the tank fills at a station and use a electric fuel pump and fill up the van and drums with gas. He made some serious money and never got caught either did not show up when they dipped the tanks either!
