I stole $35.67 from a Republican yesterday.
   
Whenever we pass by this gas station in Larkspur, we almost always pull in and fill up because they have the lowest prices in S. Marin.

Yesterday afternoon, there were a few cars in line, but we pulled in, anyway.

There was a Range Rover in front of us with a McCain/Palin sticker (only the 2nd one I have seen in Marin).

The two cars at that particular island pulled away simultaneously and the Rover pulled up to the pump nearest us, leaving a space in front and us behind.

So this ditzy blonde got out of the car and pranced over to the pump, credit card held in her teeth (I am not making this up). Standing there, all blonde and confused, as if she had never seen a gas pump before -- head cocked to the side, jeans torn at the knee.

GF says, "Tom, get out and ask her to move to the pump in front."

Tom replied, "F**k it, tell her yourself because she's too f***ing dumb to get it".

Just as GF gets out of the car, Ditzy Blonde inserts credit card in the little slot on the pump.

GF asks her if she could move up a space so we could fill up, too. DB gets this blank look on her face and says something to the effect that she thought there was still a car there. Real Dumb.

So she prances (and I mean PRANCES) over to the driver's door, hops in and pulls forward.

We pull up and I insert card. Pump reads "Card Not Read". I figure what the hell, insert nozzle and, Lo and Behold, the pump works.

DB gets in her car as our pump clicks off and I get in our car.

Then DB hops out and goes into the convenience store part of the station. I am pissed, just sitting there for a few minutes. I tell GF that DB is probably confused by the selection of bottled water (they carry one brand in one size).

Sure as shit, DB prances out with a bottle of water, credit card still between teeth.

I look down at the little receipt that came out of the pump and the name printed on it was "Tamara" something.

$35.67.

I'm gonna frame it.

Typical. TiT admits publicly to Credit Card Abuse, a felony in most states. The again, he's probably just full o' shit.

[Texacon]

Well, I'm sure Tom needed it and hehe  The Dumb Blond probably won't even miss it.  That is the difference between being a dumb ass and a productive member of society.

Tom is so amazingly dishonest he is almost bullet proof in respect of his 'confessions' on the internet.  He has the "right to remain silent, but not the ability".

Has anyone ever seen a credit card receipt with your name on the reciept ?

[Chris_]

In CA that is a FELONY

[ScubaGuy]

Has anyone ever seen a credit card receipt with your name on the reciept ?

Not since the early 90's.

I worked for one of the dispenser companies and we were ordered to get rid of all identifying information on the receipts.

[USA4ME]

Has anyone ever seen a credit card receipt with your name on the reciept ?

Yes, gas station receipts here routinely have the name of the user on it.

Good catch. Mine only have the last 4 digits of my account number on them.

Yup.  Most of the gas pumps where I can swipe the card outside do that.

He even posted the woman's name who he stole from!

I just checked with my GF, and the woman's name is Tara Verkuir (in the interest of clarification).

The way I look at it, the Enemy is fair game.

The thread at the DUmp is growing like wildfire.

25. Boy seems like this sort of thing happens to you, like, once a week or so.
   
Odd, that.

We do not wish for our members to advocate breaking the law, now do we think it is in your best interest to advertise that you have done so.

It is heartening to read that many, even most of the DUmmies disapprove of Tom's Tale.

That some of them consider theft to be justified or even applauded , so long as it's from someone that they disagree with politically or think is richer than their own self is very telling. I do note in passing that this second group is also the group that rants loudest about evil neocon republicans stealing from <insert minority group> .

10. All of them do, here.
 Some places, you even have to enter your ZIP code.

I think the name thing might be a California deal, as I don't see it when we go to Tahoe.

I just checked with my GF, and the woman's name is Tara Verkuir (in the interest of clarification).

It's funny how all this security business goes, when I am able to maintain a Drivers License and Passport with a non-existent address.

48. I have admitted much worse. How about this one?
 I have a California Drivers License and a US Passport with a non-existent address on both.

If you can't have some fun with Life, why get out of bed?

Oh My.

Admitting to a federal felony. 

Smart.

Seriously the FBI and DHS will crawl up your ass with a microscope for that.

16. I see it as a gift.
 I gave some of it back to a lady at the grocery store who was attempting to buy some cookies for her grand-daughter with food stamps

40. I never miss an opportunity.
 But this one fell out of the sky.

Do you remember when I wrote "**** Me" on the Carlisle guy's leather bag in Vegas?

I love shit like that.

Keeps me from becoming too complacent and sedentary

Yup.  Most of the gas pumps where I can swipe the card outside do that.

Well no wonder I haven't seen them then. The coffee pots are kept inside around here so I pay for the gas inside while I'm at it.  

[DixieBelle]

What the hell?!?! I'm surprised he hasn't gotten a granite sandwich over some of the stunts he's pulled.

[Chris_]

If nobody send this info to the FBI or whoever needs to see it then we might as well be as guilty as he is.

You just want to see TiTty post his next whopper from the prison lie-bary.

So does mine.

I took some screen shots. 

Maybe he can post another bouncy about how his girlfriend had him hauled away to the nuthatch after he got drunk again.

The Federal Government has NO sense of humor about falsified passports.  Zero.

I got a shot of the woman's name.  I don't think it is spelled correctly, but it is close.

I got shots of all of his posts including the top post with the URL in plain view.

Since it's all made up anyway I highly doubt it's a real person's name.

But the Fed might be HIGHLY interested in a self proclaimed ex felon having a phony passport.

They might even pay him a visit at the knick nack shop for a chat.

WhiteGuyPI should really do the honors.

He was the one that tipped off the Tiburon PD and had him hauled in for his Sanity Check.

WOAH! When did that happen?

[BlueStateSaint]

Yeah, whiteguyPI should do the "honors."
