There were some strange going-ons in the parking lot at Iowa Gas while the rest of us were distracted with the gas & oil show going on out back!
My wife (The Warden) took a break from the heat and went to our room to cool off and read for a short while and she noticed these shenanigans going on in the parking lot out front! Like any good citizen, she whipped out her trusty camera to catch the perpetrators in the act for evidence at the trial!!
Its hard to tell just who they are but its obvious that the poor Tokheim 36B is suffering the worst of it! They are shown in this first picture, positioning the poor pump for they're dirty work!

This next pic shows them getting serious about their little plan and even exposes a bit of crack in possession on the one perpetrator!

This next photo captures one of the bandits tackling the poor pump from the bottom----Either that or he was tuckered out and trying a new approach!

This last photo shows an accomplice that was obviously a lookout, making his getaway before anyone spotted his participation in the dastardly deed! Its rumored that they all escaped without a trace and remain on the lam---unidentified!!!

The guy in the grey hat looks like the character that was throwing small orange balls at everyone, including at a police officer that judging by his reaction, thought they were hand grenades.
