A man who was trying to steal gas from a parked up box truck accidentally set himself ablaze in the process as fuel prices continue to soar. The shocking incident was all caught on surveillance camera footage as the man could be seen attempting to siphon fuel from the tank of a vehicle next to which he had parked his own white pickup in Salt Lake City. Authorities believe the man was using a drill in order to access the gas tank during which a spark ignited the flammable liquid. Static electricity, or sparks caused by the friction from the drill bit against the gas tank are most likely to blame for the spontaneous combustion of the gas.
