Default jersey modeler stolen

Well I was at the gas station today, bought 4 gallons of gas in my Jersey Modeler, had my 5 year old daughter with me, got distracted, and left without the Gas can. I remembered on the way to the field so I turned around. I had maybe been gone 8 minutes. When I got back to the gas station, it was gone. Nobody saw anything of course. Man was I sick! This world sometimes sucks, I mean you can't leave anything for a minute without it being stolen. IT's really getting bad when somebody steals a gas can.


So keep your eyes peeled for a used Jersey Modeler!

IT's an electric gas fuel pump all self contained. IT 's a very nice unit. Check it out at: http://www.jerseymodeler.com/index.html

I don't know if it's worth the trouble but every gas station seems to have video survelience cameras with time stamps. I'd also consider the station attendant as the most likely suspect.

The gas in the can is worth more these days than the can. O.K., maybe not as much but it sure seems like it. I'm sorry for your loss.

Even if they taped someone taking the can, can you get them for theft?

Good suggestion, BB

BTW, is the dog a bloodhound? You might make a decent Sherlock Holmes.

Not a bloodhound, a small boxer mix. Didn't stop him from knocking the door open today and going after a Rotweiler. Fortunatley for him the Rot was muzzled.

I keep him tied up outside the garage (which faces the street) when I'm working on my planes, I never worry about going inside for a bit to check up on RCU posts because anyone walking by get's a friendly greeting. He's never even nipped at anyone but the kids in the nieghborhood don't know that and I've never lost a gas can!
