Being as every car has a number plate, it gets recorded as soon as you start filling. If you’re driving a stolen vehicle, the chances are that the number plate will have been flagged for surveillance anyway. And if you haven’t got a number plate, the attendant won’t authorise the pump to be used. But once you’re done filling, the petrol team will simply log a complaint with the police for theft of fuel. Since most vehicles are registered, it won’t take long for them to track the driver down. You might get a knock at the door, or the police might just send a letter with a court date and a demand for payment or prosecution. It depends on how busy they are and how frequent the crime occurs. But you can legally depart the forecourt without payment if you leave your details and commit to returning to pay within twenty-four hours.
