an organized diesel fuel theft scheme in Northwest Florida knew how to use super magnets to get the fuel pump to dispense without counting the gallons

 5 arrested, on felony tampering with a fuel pump.

The guys were caught on surveillance footage filling up multiple semi trucks with diesel fuel.

How the hell did the engineers who designed the pump, not notice that they had ferrous materials, (which are needed to create sparks, and are magnetic) in a part of the pump system where someone could use a super magnet to get free fuel?

  1. There are probably some pretty smart folks designing prisons, but lock enough people inside with nothing else to do and someone is gonna figure out how to escape.
    There will always be more people trying to get something for nothing than people trying to prevent it.
