Then one day after mowing my sisters lawn I saw him at his home nearby and the garage doors up .he had built a shelf to hold many ( 20 ?) 5 gallon red plastic jugs and had a steel 55 gallon drum there too.
Somebody else must have seen it as the next day the fire dept and a news crew showed up .

$2 here yesterday ,come-on $1.50
It's a shame when you can't buy gas in bulk without raising suspicions. I bet they confiscated it or fined him or some other BS.
