Could a recent show of "Breaking Bad" have affected a recent bold robbery in Indiana, in which a male made off with 2,100 gallons of gas? Or were the similarities just a coincidence? You can get car finance with bad credit for an automobile with better fuel economy.

Criminal activity with price increase

A criminal stole 2,000 gallons of gasoline at the same time that gas had its largest one-day jump in a year and a half.

A man drove a tanker truck into a BP fuel station last week and said he was there to check the tank levels. He wound up taking every last drop of gas that was in them. Law enforcement in Indiana is now looking for him.

After the recent contamination problems that BP experienced, it makes sense that somebody would show up to take a small amount out of the decrease to test the amounts. The tanks are supposed to replace the small amount of fuel before they leave. According to the police, a manager at the BP station said testing fuel was common even before contamination.

The criminal got $8,500 in hot petroleum depending on the “street price” of it.

Not just BP

There were two other convenience stores in the area hit at the same time. It is unknown if it was the same criminal or a different one, but another 350 gallons of gas were stolen. BP is not alone.

Similar to TV show

Just a week after an episode of “Breaking Bad” showed a similar heist, the Indiana burglary occurred. They are fairly similar to each other.

In the show, the three main characters Walter (Bryan Cranston), Jesse (Aaron Paul) and Mike (Jonathan Banks) stop a train with a tanker car full of methylamine. Then, they pump it all into a tank they have buried under the sand while the engineers on the train make an effort to get it started again. They needed a pool full of the chemical for drug-making operations, so they just stole it.

And except for one tragic complication at the end involving a motorcycle, the crooks were out of there unscathed before they could say "howdy Honda."

The show and similar steal were not quite the same since the one in Indiana was not that bold, but it does make people wonder what television is doing to us.
