As gas prices reach record highs, criminals stoop to new lows. A thief drove off with her tank full, and a gas station attendant on her hood.

It happened Sunday afternoon at the Town and Country BP in South Bend.

Gas station management says the woman was trying to leave without paying for her gas after she'd gotten into a disagreement with the attendant.

The attendant then went outside and stood in front of the woman’s car to try and stop her, but it didn't work.

“My assistant was thrown up on the hood she was stunned so she grabbed to hang on and when she made the turn out of the parking lot onto McKinley, it threw my assistant onto the ground,” station manager Ben Clark tells us.

The attendant is home recovering after being treated for some pretty nasty road rash and torn ligaments.

The driver was a black female, about 5 foot 6 driving a dark blue older Buick or Oldsmobile with temporary plates.

If you have any information about this incident, please call South Bend Police at 235-9361.

UPDATE: Police believe they have arrested the woman responsible for the crime. WNDU.com has complete coverage of the arrest.

Regardless of her race, this woman broke the law. If she had been white, the story would have identified her that way. If afrcan americans do not want to be associated with criminal activity, they should stop committing crimes. Just read the news, it tells the whole story. I know that other racial groups commit crimes and are identified when they do. Unfortunately for this community, a large percentage of crimes are committed by blacks. This is proven by statistics. Instead of screaming RACISM, why don't memebers of the african american community try to do something to change the direction many of your young people are heading. Theft,drug activity, battery, murder and all other crimes are wrong, no matter who commits them. Quit making excuses for this woman. This attitude is what makes some people feel that they should be allowed to behave criminally and get away with it.

Why don't they tell us the whole story? I mean who knows what the "disagreement" was? Also, clerk was NOT hit by a car, she LAID on the hood of the car, because she knew that if she didn't stop her, it would come out of HER paycheck. It is kinda sick if you think about it, this is the fault of the gas station owner due who makes those types of rules. WHY does our government still divide crime stats into race? TO GIVE SOMETHING for the racists to use against people of COLOR...ANY color, pick one. So who is REALLY playing the race card?

To Shawna..please do not judge all people by a few rash comments. There is no denying it was a black woman, but that doesn't make all blacks or women guilty of this sort of action. It's like we still hate all Japanese because of Pearl Harbor! Grow up people! No matter what you make, it's not worth your life, and this will make it expenseve for ALL of us...

No, Shawna, not all black people are on welfare. But go into the Wal-Mart on Portage Rd.at the beginning of the month and tell me what you see! 400lb women in electric carts full of frozen chicken dinners, with 6 kids running behind. If you listen, you can sometimes catch them bragging to each other about how much food stamp money they have in their account! (Yes, I've heard it.)

Its amazing how much time we have on our hands..I love reading this stuff..and hearing all the back and forth. Thinking about how blessed we are to even have a computer, electricity, a home, and have freedom of speech, NEVER comes up. How this turned into a war of races shows how sad we all are as a people. All over a picture, a few paragraphs, and gasoline. WOW WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Posted by: SHAWNA Location: SOUTH BEND on Jul 9, 2008 at 02:34 PM
Well at least now minorities know how white people truly feel..thanks for not sugar coating it..further more I am so sure this lady is not the first or the last person of ANY RACE,in this area or any area for that matter to steal gas or any other item; the only difference between her and everyone else is that she became a news headline...this story started out about someone stealing gas, where did OJ and New Orleans and Obama come into pay...also for all of the closed minded people out there not all blacks get gov't assist, have 14 kids, on crack ..now its very sad the clerk was hurt in this process but in my opinion one's life is far more important than risking it for a tank of gas

Posted by: Anonymous on Jul 9, 2008 at 10:23 AM
Who cares...it didnt happen to any of us... This forum always gets people riled up about race. White folks have done more damage over the centuries than Blacks could ever do. Think of all the most horrid crimes, going as far back as Jack the Ripper. Gacy, Dahmer, even crazed psycho Hitler..WHITE folks. Wars, atom bomb, Iraq, Iran, Vietnam..all initiated by WHO? white folks. So save the bantering for the real issues here.

Did I say a flea? I meant a pimple on a fleas a@@. Just stick to what you know and make sure the toilets are clean at Wal-Mart.

Posted by: Imus fan on Jul 8, 2008 at 08:41 PM
Imus, you're so right!. I, for one, am so tired of people of a certain race thinking that they are owed a living, and the rules don't apply to them because of their skin color. They are rude, will jump in front of you in lines at grocery stores and gas stations, look at you like "Don't you DARE say anything, or I'll pull the race card and call you racist!" and think the white man owes them a living. Get an education, get a job, stop living off of welfare, and be productive member of society. I think people have had enough of the "poor me" act. Stop having a bunch of kids so you can get more food stamps and welfare, and have to ride around the Wal-Mart in a little cart, because you weigh 400lbs, because you are to lazy to even walk!

Steve: contrary to what you may believe, I wasn't on here to "reason" with you. I was simply stating my opinion which, FYI, is the purpose of the comment threads. Your last lil' comment was a great comeback though, did you work on that all day? By the way, I have a life... maybe you should get a job instead of spending day time hours attacking commenters.

I was there, no one got raped, no one went thru what they said in the MEDIA..what is wrong with you people. And YES I am a White person. Your the reason the word bigot, idiot, racist exist.

Posted by: steve on Jul 8, 2008 at 03:31 PM
To Julie: It's impossible to reason with someone like yourself who has the mental capacity of a flea. Do yourself a favor and get a life!

Todd are you serious?? Risk your life, is it a signed contract that you have to do this? That is a true shame...

Posted by: Julie on Jul 7, 2008 at 09:17 PM
Steve in South Bend; I stand by my comment. If standing in front of a moving vehicle with a thief inside of it is what you call courageous & noble then you're a moron too. This clerk probably makes $10 an hour, if that. Now she's laying at home recovering..hmmm wonder how much she's making now? If she was courageous she would have told her boss to stick it where the sun don't shine before she went out and stood in front of a moving vehicle to prevent a $40 gas theft. I'll be looking in my mirror and you can go defend her in front of moving traffic of your own... OK??

Posted by: Imus had it right on Jul 7, 2008 at 08:29 PM
look at the picture that says it all. surprise surprise. Wouldn't it be nice just once to see a little ol white lady commiting these crimes or wait i think i remember one attacking police officers in a store a couple of months back. race doesnt matter moral character and upbringing are what makes a difference.

To"white person in flooded area": What Mike is stating is a FACT! Nick is right too. If you can't handle the truth, then get lost you wimp!

Posted by: Todd Location: South Bend on Jul 7, 2008 at 02:07 PM
The point, TheTruth, is that she would of lost her job if somebody stole gas on her shift.

Posted by: mike Location: elkhart on Jul 7, 2008 at 02:02 PM
to white person in a flooded area.....you are the idiot and a moron for not seeing life as it is......didn't you watch the news and see what was going on?.....i'm not a racist in anyway.......and you're correct that whites are no better than blacks......but facts are facts.......you obviously didn't see the pictures and read the stories.......it was no different than when oj simpson got the not guilty verdict......the blacks all cheered like they won the lottery......he was guilty as could be and they all knew it........it's all about being black and sticking up for your kind, guilty or not.....and as far as what this has to do with new orleans, it has nothing to do with it.......my point is that "joes" racist tones were mostly correct......black people need to quit using their color and economic status as a reason to justify doing wrong......i can gaurantee you that there are other "blacks" who know this lady and could turn her in......but they won't because they share the same color..

Posted by: Alan Location: Elkhart on Jul 7, 2008 at 11:26 AM
You can bet that the vehicle used to do this is setting in a garage somewhere and that young lady has a new hair-doo for sure!

Posted by: Nick on Jul 7, 2008 at 11:04 AM
Why Band Joes comments when all those who actually work and support themselves in society feel this way. Working at McDonalds with 5 kids and making 20K a year in NOT supporting yourself. If you recieve welfare of anykinds you do not support yourslef in society and therefore should loose your citizenship. There is no such thing and those being less fortunate, just those who are lazy! Racist or not profiling works!!! If those within the culture or race decide that they are tired of that stereo type, try to change it by not letting those within your group be morons!!!

Posted by: TheTruth Location: Mishawaka on Jul 7, 2008 at 09:46 AM
OK..why in the world would he/she try and stand in front of a car to stop someone who has stolen gas? Whats the point?

Posted by: White Person in Flooded Area on Jul 7, 2008 at 09:44 AM
There was no raping going on in New Orleans, YOU idiot...Mike...it was widely broadcast via CNN..and all the rest, that this was a lie made up by a distraught police officer. Get your facts straight. Second, white folks are no better than Black Folks...and vice versa. On the news those same White people were said to be ' in dire need of those items' while the media classifed the Blacks as looting. And, the disaster in New ORleans was a hundered times worse. YOU racist. What does this gas station article have to do with New Orleans anyway,,,

Posted by: mike Location: elkhart on Jul 6, 2008 at 09:44 PM
joe is right on the mark.....consider this......when new orleans flooded, the residents looted everything in site.....they got put up in the superdome and proceeded to rape and pilage within......they complained about everything and blamed it all on the gov't.....these people were 99% black.....now look at all the towns on the mississippi, through iowa, illinois and indiana........same disaster that new orleans had.......have you seen any looting, raping or pilaging?......no!.....and these people are mostly white......is anyone blaming this on the gov't?.......no!.......like it or not, that's the facts.......

Posted by: NICOLE Location: Mishawaka on Jul 6, 2008 at 08:43 PM
seriousy? I agree pumps should be strictly prepay or debit/credit. And it says the lady had stolen the gas after a disagreement with the attendent...lol..she probably wouldn't take her food stamps for gasoline! And maybe the attendent only makes minimun wage, but atleast she has a job.

Have you ever seen a 18 Wheeler drive-off with $475.00 worth of diesel fuel? would you stand in front of that truck to save your job?

Posted by: me 3 Location: south bend on Jul 5, 2008 at 02:23 AM
OK all the post make me wonder what people think and why. If the girl was white it was still breaking the law. maybe next the owner of the station will let the employees carry handguns and if they try to run you down, shoot them. there problem solved, take the car and sell it for the cost of the gas they stole or just empty the tank to get the gas back. I am not serious but this is what it may come too soon. drive off now run $70 so who pays for them? we the owners of gas stations and us the paying costumers. for the people who say it was stupid for the person to try and stop her, you must be the ones who witness a hit-and-run and say "glad they didn't hit me" and drive off,not trying to give any medical attention to the person or follow the vehicle who did it. it is a shame that the united states of America is getting like that. OK now prepay it is, you wait in line to prepay but don't know how much IT will take so give me all your $$ and pump and wait in line again to get the change.

So, this woman is on camera, there is a discription of the car and a paper plate, it has been all over the news and in the papers; no one has turned her in yet and she has been caught? Come on, some one come forward. She could very easily have killed that clerk. Step up to the plate people. Everyone complains about the crime that is going on now a day's, but no one really wants to take responsibility to help. This woman needs to be in jail. I realize times are tough. The price of everything is going up. I realize it is down right impossible to decide if we will put gas in the car, buy groceries, or get medication. So, someone come forward and help do something about it! We are all in the same boat.

Posted by: marie Location: virginia on Jul 3, 2008 at 08:44 PM
I can not believe what I am reading. Stealing is stealing. The clerk should not have stood in front of the car.I know times are tough but,how do you know what you would have done that very moment. Just because the times are tough does not make stealing gas ok. I think all of you need to take a step back and remember we all end up paying the price for her not paying. I think with most of the comments I have read you think it is ok to steal gas.

To Anonymous: Your the idiot. This is a problem that people have to deal with every day. NO MONEY! WHAT DO YOU DO? AND WHAT IS WRONG WITH BEING A HILLJACK?

Posted by: joe part 2 Location: not mishawaka on Jul 3, 2008 at 01:48 PM
There used to be a time when saying I'm sorry had some weight to it but not anymore. Everyone says I'm sorry and turns and goes right back to what prompted it to begin with. We need to not only accept the "I'm sorry" but also expect a correction that prompted it to begin with. But we don't, we just let it go without saying anything. But down inside we are all sick of it. Its so obvious from reading all the comments on this post. Its was fun and good conversation but I have go to work now because I have to pay taxes and support some program out there I don't even know of so that they can stay home and another year..........Joe .

Posted by: Joe part 1 of 2 Location: not mishwaka on Jul 3, 2008 at 01:47 PM
WOW... This conversation brought out a lot of feelings. If you go back and read them its obvious we all have the same opinions. We are sick of stupid people. People that steal, cheat, or take advantage of other people only for there personal gain. We are sick of people that make ridiculous comments like the ones posted here. The obvious is that the number of cheaters are out numbering the honest people and we keep allowing it. There used to shame in not having a job or being late for work. There used to be shame in dropping out of school. There used to shame in not providing for you family and having to use government assistant. We now use it as it was never meant to be used. We abuse it and assume it's a way of life. It was meant to help the ones that cant help them selves. Ones in need because of illness or personal tragedies.......(see part 2)

Take a look at the vast difference in the numbers of people that have posted to this story vs those who have the racial slurred church story. THAT'S what is pathetic with all of you poeple. Pathetic. If I was a minority, I would move far away from here and all the hate mongers that this place breeds. You're all a bunch of hilljacks.

Posted by: steve Location: south bend on Jul 3, 2008 at 01:09 PM
To Julie: No, YOU clearly are the moron! How dare you call the clerk an "idiot" for trying to stop a theif. What this clerk did was courageous and noble, exactly what you are NOT! You are what they call a coward. A self righteous "moron" like you should look in the mirror before you cast stones on others.

As the economy crumbles, the Section 8 scum crawl out of the woodwork. What is sad is that one of her fellow street-scum knows who did it and the code of selfish silence steps into play.

Posted by: Matt Location: Plymouth on Jul 3, 2008 at 11:01 AM
I don't think stealing gas is right by no means, but what do they expect people to do? When you have to decide what to do because you can't afford to go to work, I have a feeling stuff like this is going to start happening more often. I feel bad for people that can't make it and they are working two jobs. Wait till winter when the have gas bills to pay. The economy is going down hill fast. The Government can say whatever they want but we are screwed.

I hear ya and understand what you are saying about prepay being an inconvience to the customer.. We have been prepay for over a year now and at first we did have a lot of angry customers. They felt insulted. I had many people tell me they would never come back...some didn't, most did. In this day and age, with the prices, in my opinion it's foolish not to go prepay. The drive off's were never taken out of my check or bonus, but we did have to call it in to the police and get a report number to put on the drive off receipt. Since we are prepay, my life is much less stressful and I don't have to keep an eagle eye on my 12 pumps, anymore.

IF one more idiot like Joe spells the word STEAL like STEEL, then I am going to lose it. I understand its and internet blog and I'm not really all the big on proper english and grammer and such on something like this. But when you put STEEL instead of STEAL, it is pretty obvious that that is REALLY how you think it is spelled, in which case, you are a complete idiot. HA! The chick working at the gas station was a moron. Standing in front of some psycho's car. Take the gas! It's like stealing from Bush. I think I might start doing it.

It was probably a STOLEN temporary plate. One was ripped off a friend's new car at the Portage Wal-Mart last week.

Mej thanks for calling names--i bet you beat your wife, complain about life and how unfair things are for you. I bet you work at the H2 plant with the other union cry babies that spend more time trying to avoid work rather than doing your job and keeping quiet. You are the joke as well as the other posters who shop at rent to own stores, family dollar and and lets not forget your buy here pay here junk car clans. This is my opinion take it or leave it. Not everyone agrees with me and I don't care.

Mej 03:15 They call it "FREE SPEECH" The same reason they post yours and all other comments. The media censers to much now don't encourage them.

Posted by: Bob Location: Mishawaka on Jul 2, 2008 at 10:33 PM
If you've got to sink to the low level of stealing gas and running people over in the process, you should probably sell your car and invest in something a little less jail-time-possible. Such as a bicycle, or new shoes perhaps.

Posted by: Julie on Jul 2, 2008 at 08:08 PM
The clerks an idiot for standing in front of the car. The lady was stealing gas but the clerk didn't think she'd run over her? The lesson for all here is that a criminal can't be trusted, duh. The clerk also should get a new job if she's risking her life to keep her paycheck from being garnished due to thieves, then there's better places to work. Most of the people posting on here should be the ones standing in front of a car, as most of you apparently are illiterate morons.

In this day and age, I would guess that most homes have colored TVs if not HDTVs, why do we even need to bring up race? Anyone who steals, robs,murders, etc., is a crook in my eyes and it doesn't matter what their skin color is! Wrong is wrong and we need to stop allowing crooks to rule and ruin the lives of hard working people. It's obvious this girl has no morales, no pride or respect for herself let alone anyone who may get in her way of leading such a dispicable lifestyle. I would be embarassed to call her my daughter! If she was my daughter, society wouldn't have to worry about her stealing gas or driving a car because she wouldn't be able to even sit in a car after I got done with her!

Posted by: VirgilOberstein Location: SB on Jul 2, 2008 at 06:58 PM
Mej, Joe's postings ring true. I didn't see that he brought blacks into the discussion. Others did. Mej, you called this person childish in your post--why are you calling names? I personally agree with many of the posts here. In a nut shell people are tired of lazy blacks, lazy people, lazy anybodys. We are tired of crime and government programs that enable and encourage people to lean and depend on the government. When does this stop? What happens when all the lazy people out number tax payers? What happens to the programs? These issues need to be addressed and the political niceness should be set aside. Lets call a spade a spade and a thief a thief. WNDU allows the discussion because it's needed. I would bet you are an Obama democrat program creating supporter who is to lazy to vote on election day. When someone steals from you maybe you'll whistle a different tune. Until then hush up!

Posted by: Mej Location: SB on Jul 2, 2008 at 04:15 PM
Why does WNDU keep posting Joe's comments; he is clearly getting a kick out of people replying, but his comments are very demeaning to black people as a whole. WNDU should screen this non-sense. Joe you are clearly a childish person; who may feel that way, but I bet you wouldn't say how you feel to the majority of black people you come into contact with- Keyboard Tuff Guy. What a joke

No more jails, color tv, CABLE, coucseling, basketball time, or anything else. Drop these people off in IRAN OR IRAQ

Posted by: Dr.IQ Location: South Bend on Jul 2, 2008 at 03:48 PM
Desperate people do desperate things. Stealing is one of them. Perhaps we should consider that more African Americans live in poverty because of a legitimate reason. First the break down of thier families. Uneducated families tend to reproduce more uneducated off spring. Did anyone read the article about the difference in IQ's between blacks and whites? Dr. James Watson (Nobel Laurette) stated it first and documented itthrough research. So, yes there is a real excuse here. They don't have families, thier daddies are incarcerated and thier IQ's are 10 points lower than the rest of the non african american population. What say you?

Posted by: Joe Location: Mishawaka on Jul 2, 2008 at 03:45 PM
Hey, for the people that are offended ... well then you must agree down deep inside... anyway, if you cant take the heat get out of the COOP. I never once mentioned race it was brought up by the people that know its true and are on the defensive. The ones that are being held back, the ones that never get a fair trial, the ones that never get what is owed to them. the ones that dont have clue who there father is. your right, its all about parenting, these people dont have any parents to teach them and then they reproduce, multiply and cant teach there offspring and it goes on times 2 times 4 and on and on and on and on ....... I bet the thief in the tape steeling the gas was never taught not to steel and it is very sad... but at what point do we who are honest and hard working say enough is enough. and say no more of my tax money should go to these programs that do nothing but enable these people. WE SHOULD ALL STAND UP AND SAY... NO MORE!!!!

Posted by: Ava Sinclair Location: South Bend on Jul 2, 2008 at 03:32 PM
First, those who commented regarding Joe's grammar, spelling and mechanics need to proof read what they post. I must agree that there is indeed racial undertones here. Why? The video tape clearly shows an african american woman stealing gasoline. If Obama (democrat) is elected the african american population can count on yet another govt program to assist them and encourage them to be lazy. Medicaid, Food Stamps, Welfare, and now free gas. I'm sick of the those of color playing the race card and making excuses for thier bad choices and behavior. Quit reproducing. To the person that states Mishawaka is the armpit of northern Indiana-- yes, it is especially the northside. Town & Country and the apartments behind it is crime haven. Tell the Mishawaka redneck police to do a sweep and see how many criminals they can catch on any given day. Wait the police are to busy catching children shoplifting at KMART and writing tickets for seat belt infractions.

Posted by: Joe Location: mishawaka on Jul 2, 2008 at 02:31 PM
And if this happens ..... Port-A-pit is in deep because they wont buy it .. they will steel it and run over the kids selling it. THEY DON'T CARE !!!!!!!!

Posted by: bill Location: mishawaka on Jul 2, 2008 at 02:24 PM
Wow, testy comments. I, for one would hire this attendant in a second. With that kind of loyalty and committment there would be nothing to stop her in a great career. I hope someone who has a business sees this and offers her a job. If more people cared about their jobs like this woman does, the average wage would be higher because of increased productivity and decreased losses and many other things intangible like attitude and job satisfaction. Its too bad, I have been to that station several times and if it's who I think, she's very professional and courteous. She seems to be a delightful person to be around. My best wishes to her on a speedy recovery. Maybe the owner of the station will pay her for her bravery and commitment to his business. That would make a great news story, kind of like the Famous Dave's fire. by the way, I'm a white redneck hick living in mishawaka. Color of skin makes no difference, its what's in the heart.

Gas is being stolen because its so expensive, Well food is also going up. So Its only a matter of time before restaurants like KFC are robbed. ..

Posted by: lucy Location: south bend on Jul 2, 2008 at 12:28 PM
Don't get a job at a gas station. That's not right that they deduct drive-offs from your paycheck or bonuses. It's not the attendants fault idiots don't want to pay for their own gas. Nor is it not their fault that the owner doesn't make people pre-pay. It's not worth the risk to lose your money you work hard for to drive-offs. Seems the gas station owners are greedy you-know what's!

Maybe she was angry because she can't get free assistance for gas like she may get free everything else. That is going to come too-assistance for those who get food stamps and have the government raise their kids.

Posted by: Dave Location: Osceola on Jul 2, 2008 at 08:01 AM
The reason they don't put cash pay on the pump is the huge expense. ATM's are mounted in concrete with extra security because the cash is inside them---plus fools would try to run the pumps over to get the cash. It's not like they are smart and realize the pump might explode. They're already exposing themselves to security cameras! They are not the sharpest tools in the shed!

Crimes like this will continue until we as a society get involved and put a stop to it! A lot of people want to blame the cops, mayor, etc., they didn't steal the gas and hit the attendant with their car! Put the blame where it belongs and that's with the crook who committed the crime, it was her decision not to pay for the gas and to hit the attendant. This young lady needs to be caught and punished to the fullest, she's a disgrace to the human race! What's really irratating is that some people feel it's their full time job to stay at home and to come up with ways to get what they want without working and paying for it like the rest of society does! My guess is that this young lady will be caught but the attendant will be sued for damages to this crooks car!

Posted by: me again Location: southbend on Jul 2, 2008 at 02:52 AM
the person who broke the law is what is wrong here. the attendant may have the cash for the drive off taken out of her check to cover it and then her family is who suffers. the car had a temp plate, maybe that is why she stepped in front of the car in hopes someone else was calling the police. pre-pay and pay at the pump are great but some management does not want to "maybe offend a consumer" so keep things as normal for the people so in hopes they will come in and purchase some other items too. don't pick on the attendant as she was trying to do her job (collect for the gas), wish her well. as for the driver, who cares her color or back round, she knew what she did was wrong and then hitting someone was wrong too. make a example out of her and hope the saint Joseph county judges actually put her behind bars (the suspended license would be nice too but maybe it was suspended or was wanted on other charges and that is why she hit the attendant to escape).

joe Location: Mishawaka. um pal this has nothing to do with reproducing. this is i don't want to pay for gas so i will take it. i'd rather had her pay something like $1 a gallon rather than take off with not even a full tank of gas and run over an idiot who makes minimum wage and also ripping off a greedy gouging gas station owner. he can make money by selling food,etc and lower the gas to about $1 a gal. people will line up for miles.

okay I have to wonder where all the illeagal alien, black person recieving welfare, and stupid attendant commentary is coming from? Take a moment and think through what you have said, and what happened. A person committing an illeagal act ran over another person trying to stop the illeagal act. How much money they make and the color of their skin is irrealevent, I should think.

Posted by: J Location: Michigan on Jul 1, 2008 at 11:21 PM
I work at a Speedway, and they will not go to prepay-only because it is an "inconvenience to the customer". Also, our drive-offs are taken out of our bonuses. So, "prepay only" might not be as easy as it sounds.

Posted by: BT Location: SB on Jul 1, 2008 at 11:19 PM
Sure Chaz, let's go back 10-15 years and throw the "race card" in. People are fed up with thugs no matter the race. Crime is crime, plain and simple. As for the charges....armed robbery. That would be because the suspect used a deadly weapon (the car) during the commision of a felony (the theft of gas).

Posted by: r Location: s on Jul 1, 2008 at 10:49 PM
it was 30.00 in gas and a temporary plate

Posted by: Anonymous on Jul 1, 2008 at 09:21 PM
Why didn't the woman just take down the licince plate instead of jumping on the car, now shes banged up and we still have nobody in custody. Plus I would agree these gas stations need cameras on the pump that see all licince plates that are at that pump.

You have to understand statistics. It's easy. Imagine 2 circles (or draw them), circle A and circle B. With a green crayon, shade in half of A and shade only a third, 1/3, of B. Now, the shaded areas of both circles are both equally prone to living in the woods. The light areas of both circles are both equally prone to living in the mountains. Now, a politician will say, "members of circle A like to live in the woods". But, you know better. You know that circle A is merely composed of a greater number of woods dwellers and circle B, so that's what we see more often than not, creating the illusion that it's "a circle A thing". Politicians, the media, opportunists, hucksters, etc. etc. are always taking advantage because they know most of us don't know basic statistics and math, and that as human beings, we're powerfully swayed by what we see with our eyes and feelings and biases. Now you've made a beginning. It's as easy as drawing two circles.

Well, it's clearly a Buick, NOT and Oldsmobile. Mid 90's... probably a Regal (88-96 era), maybe a LeSabre (92-99 era) or fourth generation Century... but those had paint colored door handles, the one in the video had chrome colored handles. I'd say it was a Regal... how many blue Regals were registered in the past month in the area? Can't be too many.

I hope she moves back to Gary, Chicago, or Detroit, which is where most of the non-desirables have come from? I hope the attendant is going to be ok. I think this chick should have to stand in front of the BP station with a sandwich board on her letting everyone know that she is an idiot, in the boiling sun and have to pump gas for everyone else.

To all the "misha-honkies" commenting. If you do not like the America you live in then go somewhere else. You make racial remarks in your comments, you think that your city is full of shining examples of citizens. You have many of the same people around you, they just have the same skin color as you so its not directly obvious to you. But keep advertising that there are racists living out there in the utopia you call home. I have never heard of anything bad happening there. And by the way, if you are going to act superior, learn to speak and spell properly. You might even try keepin a dictionary close by to use so when you try to put someone down, you can atleast do it with correct grammar. You ever wonder why the all the progress mad in you city is as far away from your downtown area. Why its closer to Granger. Might have something to do with who lives on your city, and its pretty pale through out.

Posted by: Michelle Location: South Bend on Jul 1, 2008 at 04:48 PM
to Joe in Mishawaka - it is totally ridiculous for you to think this person is FROM South Bend and should move BACK to South Bend. Crime happens everywhere, including Mishawaka. the kid that was just arrested for plotting a Columbine style attack was a Penn student living in Granger. It is time to take your blinders off and take a look at reality.

Posted by: mej on Jul 1, 2008 at 04:06 PM
It cracks me up when people like Joe from Mishawaka think where they live at makes them so much better. We'll take ours back if you take yours. I am so sick of the people in Mishawaka thinking those old raggedy houses over there as so great. Mishawaka is no better than South Bend, you have poor neighborhood and project to boot. Your undertones are so offensive.

Posted by: bml Location: Indiana on Jul 1, 2008 at 03:58 PM
Reading the comments, many of them are harsh.....but everyone needs to face the fact that with the economy, gas,and food prices, crime is definitely on the rise.....This is not the first incident in Mishawaka or South Bend gas stealing has occurred but it may get worse before it gets better. I know that I work everyday, pay my bills on time, take care of my family and do this all on my own..I wouldn't steal gas but not everyone has that same mentally. This isn't a location problem or a color problem because I read all nationalities committing crimes. This is reality. As much as we like it or not. We need to pray, make wise choices, and just be careful because it will get worse before it gets better....just watch.....

Posted by: nate Location: south bend on Jul 1, 2008 at 03:52 PM
joe, if you mean what i think you mean, i've seen white people steal gas as well. it has nothing to do with race. it's bad parenting. if you're brought up your whole life being told "it's okay to steal," you're going to grow up to be a thief.

Posted by: Tray Location: SBizzle on Jul 1, 2008 at 03:51 PM

Some people take pride in their work and who they work for. Regardless of how much she is making she is trying to protect the property of the people she works for. There should be an automatic non suspendable sentences for criminals who injure someone that is working while committing their crimes. Death penalty to those who kill someone while working. No bleeding heart judge of jury can let them live for several years in prison to be released to kill again. When will enough be enough???

Your kidding me! Gas stations deduct drive-off amounts from their clerks? Rediculous--seems like that should be or already is illegal. Cash pumps aren't a good idea, sorry. Who is going to fill up the machine for change? Who's going to go out to each pump and collect the money? I see it being an easier target for criminals. They'll just start robbing those people servicing those cash pumps. Oh yeah, Some people really need to proof-read before they post their comments, it just makes it easier to read if you can spell/use correct grammer.

I haven't read all of the responses - but I would like to note that some people DO NOT THINK ONLY OF THEMSELVES - they think of others - that attendant may have been thinking of others and not considering what would happen to herself - what the attendant may not have been pre-meditated. Nothing like judging folks - we all need to do some reading at one time or another - I suggest looking up - "judge not, lest YE be judged" we do not know how or why things occur - only one really does - GOD! Judgements can and do lead to false accusations - please remember that and consider it when trying to judge folks.....what goes around comes around - which by the way in different words can also be found in the Holy Bible!

Like a revoked license stops anyone from driving... "habitual!" Also, that chick looks familiar. I think I've seen her all over town.

I can't believe the idea of blaming the victim over this. She reacted on instinct, it most certainly isn't this fault. Instead of asking her why and telling her what she should have done, how about some outrage that someone would steal gas and then hit someone with her car to get away with it. Honestly, I don't think she did it for workman's comp. or anything like that. She is an honest citizen doing her job and sick of people stealing.

Posted by: Israel Location: Goshen on Jul 1, 2008 at 09:23 AM

Maybe she stood in front of the car b/c some gas stations make you pay for drive offs. I don't think it is right for them to do this, it's not the employees fault. But if she filled up that was atleast 40 or 50.00 that would come out of her pay.

Posted by: Charles Location: Berrien on Jul 1, 2008 at 05:43 AM
Well Frank it is about time that people get involved in stopping crime instead of turning your head and doing nothing. The clerk knows the woman was wrong and I hope she is charged with hit and run or very least assault with a motor vehicle while committing a felony. To many let things go by and the criminal wins, this time the clerk tried her best but lost. The woman should have stopped and not hit her. Another case for clerks being armed. When more of the good citizens are armed then the criminals will have a lot harder time attempting their low life deeds. Hope she is alright and recovers and the criminal spends many years in prison, but wait that is St. Joe. county Ind. where the criminal walk free I forgot

well now it went from a simple theft charge to a hit and run. guess frank thinks people should let these people leave without paying? that cost the owner $$ and you more as the price of gas goes up to cove the drive offs..

Frank 8:17 PM… Sometimes it doesn’t matter how big or small you are. It doesn’t matter how much you make or the lack there of. Some people just act without thinking when someone else is doing something wrong. She probably didn’t realize they would actually try to run her over. Lady I hope you are okay, but next time try to get a plate number and call the police. Your family and friends don’t want to see you get killed over material items. You are very luck you were not hurt worse.

What a STUPID coward that lady was to hit the employee and then drive off. If she was ANY type of a woman she would #1 PAID for her gas and #2 NOT try to run the lady over and #3 because she hit the lady, she should have stopped! Yes, COWARD!!!
