A Nebraska woman allegedly found a lucrative quirk at a gas station pump — double-swipe the rewards card and get free gas!

Unfortunately for her, you can’t do that, prosecutors said. The 45-year-old woman was arrested March 6 and faces felony theft charges accusing her of a crime that cost the gas station nearly $28,000.

Prosecutors say the woman exploited the system over a period of several months. Police learned of the problem in October when the loss-prevention manager at Bosselman Enterprises reported that the company’s Pump & Pantry in Lincoln had been scammed.

    Two things can be true, and you can agree with one and disagree with the other.

      Very well. Please clear up the misunderstanding and say the words “the bailouts should never have happened and everyone involved in that disaster should have faced felony charges”

        The bailouts should never have happened and everyone involved in that disaster should have faced felony charges.

        Now, can you say the words “anyone that steals things of more than $10,000 in value should face felony charges”?

              Nope. She broke the law in the sense that all those Wall Street types broke the law with mortgage backed securities.

              Why are you defending the two tier justice system?

                I’m not, it sounds like we are in agreement that she committed a serious crime. It’s a shame that the Wall Street types get away with it, but you seem fine with that?
