Gasoline Theft
UPDATE: Tonight I got my first lead on who the thief might be. The hose used in the crime is very unique and I matched it up with some hose that I found at a local place in my neighborhood. I have developed a theory that I will be investigating over the following few days.
No sooner do I blog on a monster rooming house that just went up across the street, than I have to blog on the theft of gasoline from Hui-chen’s scooter overnight.
The previous occupant of our home told us that migrant workers would try to steal things from our property. I highly doubt that even with the increase in gasoline costs would one of the local Taiwanese people steal from their own neighbors. No, I have to conclude that this is the work of foreign laborers.
This is Hui-chen’s scooter with a piece of stolen air conditioner drain hose beside it. The hose smells like gasoline. She found the gas cap on the ground next to this hose.
As you can see, the gas cap has been broken with some tool, probably a screwdriver.
I checked our car. Sure enough, someone put their fingers (smudge marks) on the locking door to see if it was open.
