> Here's what was in the article.
A group of low life thieves trying to siphon fuel have discovered there's more than one holding tank on a tour bus.
The unknown individuals spotted the bus parked up in Laverton, central West Australia, in the middle of the night. But when they tried to pinch some free fuel, they mistakenly put the hose in the sewage tank - coping a mouthful of raw shit in the process. HAH. Good job.
Police discovered the failed attempt when the sewage tank cap was found on the ground the next morning.
"We can infer they beat a very hasty retreat, with a somewhat bitter taste in their mouth," Laverton Police Sen. Sgt Heath Soutar told Yahoo.
Unsurprisingly, police have "zero interest in recovering the stolen goods." But they are keen on on a laugh, adding that 'we hope word of mouth' would lead them to the crims.
If you know someone with shit breath, do get in touch.

I can think of one mc member who might enjoy what was sucked up.

I was about to say you could just use but then it's no longer a link. Why does it do this? I know the double hyphen is --strikethrough-- but I thought you had to have a pair of them to make it work.
The story seems funny but sounds fake. Snopes says it's fake, goes back to before 1991 and technically implausible (due to the difference in location of the gas, sorry ''petrol'', cap and the sewage drain).

Snopes.com has been engaged in the business of online fact-checking and myth-busting for over two decades now, and during that timespan we’ve been the subject of many fictional reports — some of them affection spoofs, some of them salacious junk news concocted to drive clicks and web traffic, and some of them straight-out fake news (often couched as “satire”) spread by the targets of our debunkings in attempts to discredit us. We make mistrakes, just not very often.
Much of this misinformation is repetitive and doesn’t lend itself to full-length debunkings, so here were offer a round-up and brief explanations of some of more widely circulated false articles about Snopes.com:
