A fleet manager we work with went looking for a diesel thief last spring. β½
The system had flagged a fill on one of his vans while the van itself was parked up 40 kilometres away. Bigger than the tank, too. He was fairly sure he knew what he was dealing with.
Turned out to be a wrong registration on the account and a lad using the card in a different van. Fixed in an afternoon, no drama, nobody in trouble.
That is how most of these end. But he only found out because something checked the transaction against where the vehicle actually was, which is not a job anyone is doing by hand on a 400 line statement.
