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.

    Surely you don’t actually believe that the police officers that does the arresting are working a secondary job as software developers?

      Surely you don’t believe I give a shit - the police work for the capital, and the capital wants to punish her.

        The police works for the government. The government operates by laws. The woman clearly, knowingly, and with intent, set out to commit fraud.

        No. There’s no doubt in my mind that you give shit about what’s actually factual. That much is obvious.
