A tip for would-be gasoline thieves. When stealing gas in the dark, don't use a lighter to see how you're doing. Police in Warren County say that's what Glen Germain Junior did when he was siphoning gas from a dump truck at a business in the Adirondacks last month.
The sheriff's department says Germain was transferring the fuel from the truck to a gas can when he used a lighter to see how full the container had become.
That sparked a fire that caused minor burns to his face and hands. The fire spread to a nearby forklift, which was destroyed in the blaze.
Germain has been charged with petit larceny and criminal mischief.
The arrest was Germain's second in a month for stealing gasoline from businesses in the town of Thurman, about 65 miles north of Albany.

Boy talking about something blowing up in this face. What was he thinking? Maybe next time he will do the same thing we do, pay for his gas.
