Unfortunately as retail theft grows, we are getting accustomed to seeing goods locked up – but buttons at the gas station, really!

Everyone’s seen expensive beauty items and booze locked up because those are high ticket items on the black market and thieves target them.

But buttons at the gas station – why on earth would anyone want those?

Well, according to TikToker Lacey Coan, from Alabama, her local gas station is locking the buttons away – the octane ones on a pump!

Lacy told her followers: “It is really sad when your local gas station has to put a rack thingy over the buttons.”

A rack thingy Lacey? Oh, bars. Yeah, got ya!

Anyhow, she continued: “Because people like to steal these things.”

Now, when she says it like that – that does sound kinda wild.

Maybe it’s a safety thing, Lacey?!

Anyhow answers on the back of a postcard please.

Why is a gas station locking all the buttons up?!

As long as they don’t lock the gas up, right?!

Lacey posted that there was a TikTok trend in 2021 where some folks were stealing the buttons.

Wild!

There are lots of theories on this one.

It definitely looks odd, though.
