The specific purpose of automotive gas tanks is to power the auto. It wasn't designed for the purpose of siphoning out gas, eventhough some people may do that. |

Although I thought most electric cars use 220 volt outlets which is kinda rare to find outdoor buildings compared to 110v outlets. |

Obviously the sensible thing to do would have been to unplug it and tell the guy to fuck off. It said something about the guy playing tennis or waiting for his kid to finish playing tennis though, so who knows how long he planned on leaving it plugged in. They take hours to charge. |
You can go to jail in a Camaro from speeding/wreckless driving.
You can go to jail in a Volt only from stealing electricity. Having second thoughts yet? :1orglaugh |
steal is a steal!
|
What a tough dilemma.. that should teach him :upsidedow
|
who said it was 5 cents?
"On average, it will be less than $1 to charge a plug-in hybrid and $2-$4 for an all-electric car" http://www.pluginamerica.org/faq/gen...estion#t39n102 so he could have in theory stolen $4 worth of electricity that one time? and who says this is his first time? For all we know his daughter plays there every week, and he was charging his car every week there for months... |
That's stealing. As electric cars grow they are going to have figure something out or a smart gas station offer quick charge for so much.
Also Nimrod could of asked the school I bet he would of got a sure ok. I can see were people don't think.we have been around a just plugging in is ok. I was thought it was strange people felt it was OK to plug in their laptop somewhere without asking |
"The school immediately dialed 911 to reach the cops"
appalling, sickening behavior. Reading news it seems that so much people call the cops for anything, try solving petty shit like this yourself for once you fucking degenerates. |

Oh I get it now! As Mark always says electricity is non polluting and free.

Here are the instructions. - The weirdo who called the cops should've stepped outside instead - Unplug it - Tell him he can't use the socket for that. It's amazing how talking to someone can solve things. Instead paranoid freaks call cops for everything. |

911: What's your emergency?
School: There is a guy in our parking lot and it's looks like he plugged his car into one of our outside electric plugs. 911: Ok, What's your emergency? |

That is still stealing.

that will give him a good lesson

I can't go to the Town Works Dept. and top my car off with Diesel, how is plugging your car into an electric socket any different?
|
furthermore, isn't 911 for emergencies?
