No Honor Amongst Well Thieves

Punctuate that heading any way you like.

According to some story I read on the internet, there's a menace stalking the damned regions of the planet, the oil fields. It would seem that the rapid rise in the price of oil to levels known as fucking insanely high has produced a new type of criminal: the oil thief. Awesome. People are starting up their own oil companies, buying old, dried-up wells, and then pretending to produce oil when in fact they just drive to other peoples' wells at night and steal from their storage tanks. Again, awesome! Who could have guessed that men who would rape the earth for crude oil will also try to fuck each other for crude oil?
