The owner of a service station in Sydney has been left fuming after a truck driver stole close to $3000 worth of petrol in one hit.

A truck driver refuelled at Anthony Pincevic’s Cranebrook petrol station recently, filling up one tank after another for 10 minutes.

Pincevic said the driver then jumped back in the car and took off with about $2800 worth of petrol.

The business owner said it was the relaxed attitude of the person responsible that angered him more, with the driver using service station facilities to clean his truck.

“People come here and they think ‘it’s a Shell, it’s a big site’,” Pincevic said.

“No, you’re actually stealing from a family-run operated business.”

Despite fuel prices dropping, service stations like Pincevic’s site are still reporting more thefts than usual and it’s hitting their bottom line.

“The margins are super low, we’re trying to keep it fair for everyone,” Pincevic said.

NRMA spokesperson Peter Khoury said Australians are not out of the woods yet.

“The only certainty we have right now is just how volatile things are,” Khoury said.

“Again, even though these wholesale and terminal great prices have been falling last 48 hours, the benchmark prices have gone back up.”

Meanwhile Pincevic has reported the theft to the police but without much luck so far. So, he’s taking matters into his own hands.

“If anyone knows him, we’ll give out a $1000 reward,” Pincevic said.
