Camper van thief siphons off raw sewage instead of diesel
By Calum Macdonald
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.'

Is this a Darwin candidate repeating history, or someone
retelling an earlier story as a local urban legend? This
happened (for real) several years ago in the US, and the
camper owner made similar comments.
