Turns out that you aren't allowed to take gas for free even if you've discovered a surprisingly easy way to trick the pump
A woman in Lincoln, Nebraska, stands accused of exploiting a glitch at a gas station to fill her vehicle up, as well as others, with more than 7,400 gallons of free fuel between November 2022 and June 2023. Lincoln Police have arrested Dawn Thompson, 45, and charged her with theft by unlawful taking worth more than $5,000. She is accused of stealing gas from a Pump and Pantry, by exploiting a vulnerability that sent the pump into a demo mode after a rewards card was swiped twice.

Authorities add that the card received minimal rewards over the period in question because it was associated with such small purchases. In all, the rewards card was used to pump 7,413.
