Imagine trying to steal gasoline from a parked bus and accidentally getting a mouthful of something much, much worse. 😭💀 In January 2016, police in Laverton, a small town in Western Australia, investigated one of the strangest attempted thefts involving a visiting tourist bus. According to local reports, someone apparently tried to steal fuel from the vehicle while it was parked overnight. But when authorities examined the bus, they discovered something unusual. The fuel was still there, but the cap from the bus’s sewage tank had been removed and discarded nearby. Police suspected the would-be thieves had mistaken the toilet waste tank for the fuel tank while attempting to siphon gasoline. And if that wasn’t embarrassing enough, investigators believed the suspects may have gotten an extremely unpleasant surprise when they tried to extract the liquid. Laverton Police Senior Sergeant Heath Soutar joked that the suspects likely made a quick escape with a very unpleasant taste in their mouths. He also said police had absolutely no interest in recovering whatever might have been taken from the waste tank. 😭 The incident quickly attracted international attention, with headlines suggesting the thieves had accidentally swallowed human waste. However, while police confirmed the suspicious circumstances surrounding the bus, nobody was publicly identified as having witnessed the thieves actually drinking sewage. Whether someone really got that unfortunate mouthful remains unknown, but the evidence was enough to make this one of the most bizarre attempted theft stories of 2016. Do you think this might be the worst possible mistake someone could make while trying to steal something? 💀 #FunnyNews #Australia #ViralStories #CrimeNews #Unbelievable - @youupgradeyou
