The Meeting.

Apparently, people have discovered a way to get 'free' fuel from us. (or so the boss says...)

It works like this.

They put fuel in their car/motorbike/kayak whatever.
We then get them to fill out a form that asks for address, phone no. etc, their license no, car make, number plates and so forth.

We inform them that they have 24 hours to pay.

If they are 'scamming' either the number, address or both are fake, and the car isn't theirs, stolen, borrowed, whatever.

Apparently, and this is the first thing that suprised me, the police won't do anything, unless we inform them straight away, because we let the person leave.
(and its only queensland that this happens - all the other states will go after the person.)

So, because of this, we now have to give them the following three options.

1) They ring someone who can come and pay the amount of fuel. If they have no phone, they park the car and walk to the nearest phone/friends house. If they drive away instead of park? We inform the police.

2) We inform them that we will ring the police. Apparently this will scare them into "finding" enough to pay. Once again, if they try to leave, we instantly inform the police.

3) We syphon the amount of fuel back out of the car/bike's tank.
How we are meant to get the right amount of fuel out I have no idea.


If it comes to option three, I'll either get them to do it, or ring the police. No way am I going to poison myself just so the boss gets his fuel back....
