"Nebraska Woman Exploits Rewards Card Glitch to Steal $27K Worth of Gas"

A Nebraska woman, Dawn Thompson, exploited a software glitch at a gas station to steal over $27,000 worth of gas by using a rewards card that allowed her to pump gas for free. She was charged with theft by unlawful taking and arrested following an investigation that revealed she had pumped an estimated 7,413 gallons of gasoline over six months. The glitch, caused by a software update, allowed anyone swiping a rewards card twice to pump gas for free, and another woman also used the card claiming Thompson had allowed her to get "discounted" fuel.
