Had an idiot pull a drive off today...
This sports car pulled up at the row of pumps furthest away from the window. While filling up, the driver looked around furtively, and had sunglasses and a hat pulled down low to cover his face. Mental alarm bells started ringing, so I wrote down the number plate and a reasonable description of car and driver.
Sure enough, he fills up, hops in the car, and tears off at top speed. This being my first drive off at this store, I ask the manager what to do. He calls the cops.
Two officers arrive within 3 minutes. My statement form is filled in and ready to go, so that saved me the trouble of faxing it. They check out the CCTV footage (which confirms my statement of the car and driver's appearance) and put out an APB. All within 10 minutes of the drive-off.
Tomorrow I'll find out what happens next.
(The local police get a discount for our car wash. When we call them, they seem to arrive faster than the average call out time for non-urgent cases.)
