    It happened to someone I know last year and the police were at their door within 10 minutes, but they knew it was an honest mistake. There was no arrest or detainment.
    You can have results or excuses, but not both.

    No arrest or detainment = no repercussions. He wasn't charged, fined, detained, publically flogged, hanged or deported.


    Stop looking for an argument, you're not going to find one with me.

    repercussion

    an unintended consequence of an event or action, especially an unwelcome one.


    Aka a visit from the police.

    Exactly! There was no consequence.


    You're really only one chromosome away from being a troll aren't you?

    Have a nice day :)

    Just googled Forgot to pay for Fuel and I found this:

    http://www.ukpoliceonline.co.uk/index.php?/topic/54586-petrol-theft-its-not-a-crime/

    But on the other hand you went to the trouble of creating an account on MSE just to tell the world what you did.

    Why did you not just not tell anyone or do what I would have done!

    Contacted the garage and paid what I owed!

    What did people do when they had to make a decision without asking millions of complete strangers?
