Gas Is The New Crack!!!

I was reading this story from Newsweek online and they were talking about how people were orchestrating these huge scams. One in particular was at a closed fueling station where these guys messed with the fuel pumps and then racked up $4,000 dollars worth of charges. They said that the surveillance tape shows the guys pull up mess with the pumps then all of these other vehicles start pulling up and people are calling other people on their cell phones to come and take part. They pay the men some amount of money and drive away. They were also talking about how two guys driving with fuel drums on the backs of their trucks were pulled over because it looked "suspicious". They were found to have most likely stolen 1,100 gallons of fuel. I was just reading it and thinking to myself, WOW! Gas is the new crack! Instead of people "riding dirty" to distribute elsewhere, people are putting their energy into figuring out how to get that precious gasoline from one place to another and sell it to people at a cheaper price than what it is currently being sold at and make a huge ass profit. Sounds just like the drug game to me.
