Default It was worth $4.00 a gallon.

A friend sent me this video. I hope it works.

I'm interested in the area this took place at so I can stay the hell away from there.

Kudos to the guy for thinking quick on his feet.

I saw that several months ago and thought that van had to be soaked in gasoline and full of fumes .. amazing it didn't burst into flames with the slightest spark from any electrical device.

I wonder if it was diesel instead of gas? Pump handle was green.

That would explain the lack of an explosion. Although ... thought diesel pumps were yellow?

What if they were just Covid paranoids, and were just stopping to ask directions?

LMAO at how much fuel went into the open door of the van. If that was diesel, they'll never get the smell out.
The hose guy also got a considerable amount of fuel on the exterior of his own car. The pavement all around where the van was stopped was soaked.
He could have had a huge fire start by some passerby dropping a cigarette butt.

One of the perps slipped on the fuel wetted pavement, indicating it might be oily.
I can't make out what model the car is, but it doesn't look like a Jetta.

Judging by the foreign vehicles, as well as the person speaking on the video, that was in Russia or maybe one of the other former Soviet countries.

The van stops with doors opening at the :07 mark, and the victim is picking them off by distance and soaking them by the :10 mark. Awesome S.A. on the part of the intended victim. If that had happened in a free society, odds are strong that lead would have been dispensed instead of fuel.

Not saying it happened In the UK (they aren't the only ones that use those wide
license plates) but petrol (aka gasoline) there has a green handle. And they don't
even call it petrol anymore, it's "E5" now. And diesel? It's called "B7" now.. It has a
black handle.

E5? B7?

That's what I was thinking. You can tell from the plates it's not in the US so higher probability it was diesel. If that was gasoline, I'd be running away very fast.

HAHAHA I enjoyed the comments.. sadly, this happened in my little southern country Chile, and that “Slavic dialect” is the centroamerican dialect are getting used to with all the (i)legal migration we have received.

It is real as it gets.. there is a new fashion here of stealing premium cars in a violent way (in this case it was not premium by any way) and then use them overnight for more robberies and then just dropping them usually smashed, or just ship them to Bolivia where they have a law that allows you to register cars no question asked. It is so ridiculous, they sometimes not even remove the Chilean plates and put bolivian on the side, they don’t even remove the company logos from the stolen trucks and just use them.

This guy had an awesome reaction, I just begged for him to drop a lighter in the van at some time, but maybe he will have gotten into flames as well, together with his car and the whole gas station..

They forgot to ask for a light. LOL I hope they got down the road and did light up.
