My intuition says......Germany.

Always follow your instincts.

[SwiperNoSwiping]

Yeah, I am feeling Germany here too.

[mysticphysh]

Since the majority is going with Germany, I'll say Flordia!

[Mercer Boy]

Well...here goes nothing. My streak may end here.

I thought about it this way. What country would a) have people try to steal gas in this manner, and b) have someone stupid enough to allow someone to go away without paying for it. Other than the total whack-jobs, Germans are pretty smart. I don't think they'd stand for that.

So I said Florida. We'll have to see what happens.

And the Answer is - GERMANY!

Here's the whole story:

BERLIN (Reuters) - A German woman left her friend as a deposit at a gas station because she did not have enough cash to pay for her petrol, police said Wednesday.

"She didn't have enough money to pay the bill, so her friend stayed behind as a human deposit while she went to withdraw cash," said a spokesman for police in the southern town of Muenchberg. "Unfortunately, the woman did not return."

Two hours after the 20-year-old driver left, the gas station called the police, who interrogated the stranded "deposit" before releasing her. Police are investigating the driver on suspicion of fraud.

I went with Germany and didn't cheat by looking at the last post with the answer.
