Thieves attempt to siphon gas from a bus....

However, they got a bit more than they bargained for when they accidentally accessed the bus’ waste tank instead of the one containing fuel.

Sen. Sgt Soutar said the discarded cap and lack of fuel stolen suggested they had failed to get away with what they were hoping to steal.

“We can infer they beat a very hasty retreat, with a somewhat bitter taste in their mouth, ” he said.

Sen. Sgt Soutar said that while Laverton Police were looking for the offenders, police officers “have absolutely zero interest” in tracking down the stolen goods.
