Camper van thief siphons off raw sewage instead of diesel
A BUNGLING thief tried to siphon diesel from a camper van but got a mouthful of raw sewage.
The would-be raider missed the fuel tank in the dark and put a tube into the van\'s septic tank by mistake.
And after sucking up the foul-smelling waste, he threw up on the spot and fled.
Pensioner John O\'Hare found a puddle of vomit and an abandoned petrol container when he stepped out of the van in the morning.
And last night he smiled: \'I hope the thief has learned from his experience and given up his evil ways.\'
John, 73, and wife May, 69 of Arden, Glasgow had spent a week touring Scotland before stopping off for the final night of their holiday in Helensburgh, Dunbartonshire.
John said: \'We made sure everything was safe and secure and settled down for the night. The following morning we were disgusted to find that under the cover of darkness a thief had attempted to siphon off diesel from the fuel tank.
\'But fortunately for us, he was left with a nasty taste in his mouth.\'
John found a plastic siphon tube and an empty fuel container next to their camper.
The contents of the septic tank had been drained and lay on the ground next to a pool of the thief\'s vomit. Also abandoned at the scene was a pile of pound coins which John believes may have been stolen from a vending machine earlier in the night.
John and May donated the abandoned pound coins to Oxfam.
John said: \'We hope this thief will give up robbing visitors and tourists seeking a peaceful and pleasant holiday after what happened to him.

He\'s back, but damn, that boy has been busy.
Between Jerking it in hotel rooms and sucking down sewage, he doesn\'t have time for us any more. ;)

I\'m busy, videoholic. I can\'t post all the time! I just got into the editing craze with my Final Cut Express 2.0 on my Powerbook G4. No, it\'s not professional level....but I will be. :D

I have FCP4 on my POS G4 laptop.
It\'s great for logging. I was able to log 4 hours of video on the plane last week. That\'s about it though. Computer is way to slow to edit with.

True. Rendering will take a lunch hour for a 15 minute video. But I can\'t afford the G5 desktop. :(
BTW....go to the PC Forum! :)
