A thief takes advantage of a moment of inattentiveness at Lyndale neighborhood gas station.
Early on the morning of Mar. 1, a driver pulled into the gas station on the corner of Nicollet Ave and 35th Street for what would prove to be a very expensive refreshment, according to a report filed by Minneapolis police officers. It was just after 4 a.m. as the 31-year old pulled up to pump number two at the Super America and got out of his car. He strode across the apron to the station's convenience store, but left his car running—it was late, and he wanted a cup of coffee to ward off the pre-dawn darkness. He wouldn't be gone long. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a stranger walk in his direction with a funny gait. He seemed either drunk or high, but inconsequential either way. He swung open the gas station door and sidled up …
