um holy shit, the headline is "Detroit man steals 800 gallons" and....they have not caught or identified the person who did this ???
what? women can't be hacker criminals ? this is a news channel with real editors who we assume graduated high school and went to college ?
to be clear, when I read "detroit man does X", I assume we are going to hear about the actual person, that is, they are known. so it's jarring to follow that headline with it flipping around the terminology, in the first paragraph "Detroit man" singular becomes "scammers" - oh it's multiple people? are they all from Detroit?
this is why news consumers are so stupid. "facts" are some kind of handwavy thing for nerds
