First story @ WHDH

The first day I get to go out on a story at WHDH and you wouldn't believe the story we cover...It all starts at this gas station where a guy comes in because he ran out of gas on the highway...he is not willing to buy the $5.00 gas container for his gas so he buys the $1.68 windshield washer fluid...then he takes a pack of mentos (the freshmaker) and tells the clerk "This is a knife...no I'm just kidding." Then he leaves to gas up his car.He never gets his car running because while he was gone it was towed by police...He is a fugitive in MA and CT and so can't go to police...He heads back into the gas station and starts demanding the clerks keys...The clerk barely understands English and doesn't know what the guy wants... The thief takes the wiper fluid bottle full of gasoline and proceeds to pour it all over the floor near the clerk...and lights a lighter..."If you don't give me your keys we're both gonna die! Gimme your keys!"The clerk even opens the drawer with the money and says the thief can have the money..."I don't want your F---ing money I want your car! Gimme your car keys!"
The clerk finally understands the thief hands over the car keys and then the thief says in a calm voice

"And a pack o' Marlboros ...Sorry!" and exits (without the money that was readily available to him)
