Gas stations - strangest IOU?

[edible_hat]

One drawback of the self-serve fuel is the people who can't pay for what they've put in their vehicle. At my workplace there's a procedure for the situation - take a name, phone number, and something as security.

Most people leave a phone or jewellery, but I've also had:
-power tools
-a digital SLR camera
-a dildo (thank Gord it was in mint condition and still in its original packaging)
-a trophy
-a clutch plate

What strange and unusual IOUs have other people had?

I worked in various gas stations over the years

- Once I held the passenger hostage, I think the friend actually enjoyed himself no less.
- Cellphones
- Yes, the powertools.
- Car stereos
- Skies and snowboards (it was a mountain town)
- Nice pets (we were very pet friendly)

I'm sure there were others.

Nothing.. where I worked, it was said that it would be illegal - even taking the license wasn't allowed.

Just take the details, and tell them that we were calling the police in 1 hour - that's how long you've got to get back with the cash. (strangely enough... most of them were able to come up with a form of payment straight away - without even leaving!!! Go figure)

sort of - had people stay behind while they went to a friends or home to get money....

I dont work in a gas station, but I do have under the counter a plastic hard case CD case thingy. I dont know if anything's in there. Its been there two weeks.

Not sure what its' collateral for... saales guy took it.

Someone tried to say they'd leave their kid with me...haha.

Other than that, nothing odd.

Darn, the camera guy came back. If we didn't come back in 3 months I was going to pay for his fuel and take the camera... $45 for that camera would be a bargain.

Hahahaha. HAHAHAHA!

Before I read the parentheses I got a visual of something covered in sticky dog hair.

I hope he was old enough to change his own diapers It probably says something about me that the first thing I jumped to was "baby".

All at once, from one person?

I hope he was old enough to change his own diapers

Two year old...but jokingly, of course.

Yeah. When he finally returned, he brought in a $20, a $10, and $35 in change...and got pissed when I took the bills and a little change, instead of all the change and a bill.
