Petrol thieves get the nod

Gas station "drive-offs" are getting more and more common. Hamilton police have sent a clear message to would-be thieves with this statement reported on Stuff today.

"Acting Hamilton city area controller Inspector Wayne Ewers defended the police handling of drive-offs. Resources were limited, so officers were not sent to follow up a possible theft of $60 of petrol when there were violent crimes to investigate. "

Do you believe that?
