In a way, it's better to have 'system level security' (ie. auditors and CCTV) than to secure just the fuel pump - after all, another thief might be around the back lowering his own pump into the big storage tanks, bypassing the bluetooth entirely...
- Kye 3y agoMaybe it's a Georgia thing, but I always see the ports for filling the tanks in front near the pumps in clear view of people inside the store. I think an attendant would notice someone with a pump where the fuel trucks usually park.

According to the podcast I linked to in another comment, the deliveries are often done when no one is around, so the hatches to the tanks are often left unlocked overnight.
