Police Say Man Stealing Gas Used Lighter

THURMAN, N.Y. - 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.
