It’s a scene right out of Mad Max: someone pulls up to the back of a restaurant in the middle of the night, siphons off 300 gallons (gallons!) of used fryer grease into a tanker truck, and goes home to convert it into fuel for their rag-tag vehicles.

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure?

Never mind $4 a gallon at the pump, you really know we’re screwed when people start stealing skunky grease out of restaurant garbage dumps. What’s next? Obese people kidnapped and drugged, waking up in a bathtub full of ice, 30 pounds lighter after thieves lipo’ed out their fat for conversion into biodiesel. You read it here first.
