...were arrested in Miami after police discovered that a floor board had been cut out of their dilapidated van. Underneath was $5,000 worth of equipment, including intake hoses, battery-operated pumps and a 350-gal. storage tank. Apparently the pair would drive into a station, casually park over an unlocked underground tank and help themselves. On a smaller scale, thieves faced another kind of retribution. In the process of siphoning gas, they often ended up swallowing some of the gas that gushed forth. Cases of gas poisoning were up all over the country. In the Houston-Galveston area, they...

Scusset Beach and Reservation. This is a state park, and one of the easiest beaches to commute to.

Nice view of an electric power plant across the Cape Cod Canal, though...
