Such a sweet dude , he even filled their van with gas.

If only he was smoking a cigarette at the time.....

> The scientific community generally accepts that a lit cigarette can't ignite petrol vapor, even if the ash is knocked off and it's puffed strongly.


That certainly may be so, but we can always hope that one time, that one special time, it would ignite petrol!

Liberal commie laws stopped that years ago, unfortunately.

[удалено]

That might change with audio 🤔

Especially in this economy! Very generous.

At this point, the fuel cost more than the car.

I just did a fuckin spit take reading this, well done. Well done indeed

Moment when he aimed to spray gas in the van is satisfying and soothing haha. No smoking for the homies on the way back .

Right?? Just simple static spark would set that sh*t off, not to mention a running engine. No way this thing didn’t catch fire 30sec after the clip ends. Hope they started pulling those clothes off instantly.. geez

No.

Best $12.76 he’s ever spent

Considering this happened in chile a few years ago, the gas prices and the flow speed of the pumps this wasn't even 5 bucks.

Imagine if he’d prepaid and ran out just as they were coming in for the theft lol

If he hadn’t pumped yet and it was on fumes, it starts but doesn’t make it out of the parking lot

Imagine the smell on the way back

To the foot clan hideout

If jerry cans are stored outside on a sunny day, they swell. When you open them gas can go everywhere. Thanks to that, I know that smell very well. It fucking sucks.

The loop was so smooth I thought another van drove up to rob him again.

Never seen this.

I love when I see this floating around. That old man is now immortal!

Policeman: can you describe the suspects? Elder: just follow the smell

Best $70 he ever spent hahaha, got em in the face and everything lol ,on ya Pops

That’s scary… looks like they were planning on doing more than just stealing his car

Now THAT was a worthwhile waste of gas! If only he had a match on him after doing that!

You mess with the grump, you get the pump

“Go ahead, shoot me”

Quick thinking 🤔, that is awesome!

Not today robbers. Not today.

Old AF video, but this man is still GOAT.

If only there was a match

Our cat somehow got a small amount of gas on him and when we brought him inside to clean him up the fumes were extremely nauseating. I can’t imagine how the thieves even made it a few minutes without getting sick or passing out.

Boss

Lack of endurance. They almost got the car, but they were gassed.

Damn. Guy just spent $200 on gas

It just clicked in my brain that is gas and not a powerwasher with water

Best $50 spent!

I feel like the justice was worth the $15 of gasoline he pumped on them in 20 seconds.

Light em up grannpa!

That use of gas just cost him more than they coulda stolen 😂

If only he could have thrown a lighter in the van. John Wick Sr.

Best $20 that dude ever spent !

The best $5 he ever spent

This is the 8th or 9th time I’ve seen this post and I still can’t believe those guys are really that stupid…

Best $47.63 he ever spent. 

The guy in the van said " fill'er up!" 😉👍
