This hit our little town yesterday afternoon. It was described by witnesses as an initial grab for the victim's wallet.

Never to need/get my gas in seedy areas has been my rule - buy local ahead of time and daylight. As you know, this ain't a seedy place and was bright daylight to boot. I'll upgrade to show open when pumping no matter where.

When I read the title I thought it was going to be a warning about catching corona virus off the pump handle.

This the reason I OC all the time. Any evident means of self defense is a deterrent to crime.
Here in Angelina County I a seeing a pretty fast increase in crime as time progresses. So far the greatest increase is night vehicle burglaries. Keep it locked and make it hard and loud to steal.

LOL, that was my first thought too. The virus can live 3 days on metal/plastic and everybody touches the pump handle... I am using disposable gloves to get gas now.

I have no disposable gloves but last Thursday I was using a big old wad of paper towels. I was so distracted by staying off that pump handle I overflowed my gas tank by a half gallon of gas. I haven't done that one in years.
