Texas resident Joe Roan woke up to a rather unpleasant surprise yesterday morning as he discovered the remnants of a would-be thief attempting to steal gasoline from his Jeep Wrangler tank.\u00a0 Unfortunately, as a local CBS affiliate<\/a> pointed out last night, with refinery outages resulting in growing gasoline shortages, this is becoming a rather common occurrence for Texas residents.<\/p>\n

\n

Joe Roan didn\u2019t witness the crime, but he found the evidence in his driveway.<\/p>\n

\u201cI came outside this morning and found this water hose was sticking out,\u201d<\/strong> he said, holding the hose a thief left hanging out of his Jeep\u2019s tank.<\/p>\n

On the ground sat a gas tank.<\/p>\n

\u201cInstantly I knew someone was trying to steal my gas,\u201d<\/strong> he said. \u201cMaybe a car drove by when they were doing it and they ran? I don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n

Roan said the thief didn\u2019t even manage to get any fuel.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
