Per philo :
This happened a long time ago, but I know someone from a very small town and when he returned home and told the people about ATM's they did not believe him.

When I was in high school, there was this really evil crew of petty
thieves.

Eventually most of them wound up in prison.

Some years back - after way more than 20 years in the can - the
ringleader managed to escape from prison.

He got caught because, after he had stolen a car and run low on gas, he
could not figure out how the gas pumps worked.




He was probably just sitting there waiting for an attendant to come out.


But more than 20 years for petty theft? sheesh he should have been a
murderer instead, they only get five years it seems.
