The source article is so poor it's mind-boggling. Is this the kind of "news" people actually spend their time reading? My IQ has temporarily dropped from subjecting myself to that.
There's no substantiation that Bluetooth was used, nor that the perpetrator(s) is/are from Detroit. The most detail I've found, including quote from Detroit PD, is here: https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/detroit-city/2023/09/29/police-800-gallons-of-gas-stolen-in-detroit-with-electronic-device/71001909007/ https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/detroit-city/20...
Reading between the lines, it sounds like one person performed the hack, and numerous people then proceeded to fill up for free -- knowingly or otherwise. There's no specific assertion anywhere that one particular individual stole 800 gallons of fuel. Of course that doesn't stop dozens of news sites all over the web from reporting inaccurate "information".
