A Pittsburgh man siphoned off more than $40,000 from his ex-boss - by swiping a company gas card and using it to buy 11,000 gallons of gas for himself and others, police said.

Thomas Jones, 40, was busted last week after his former boss at BW Wholesale Florist, Mike Ulrich, caught him in the act, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported .

Ulrich told the paper that after he reported Jones' $43,695.16 in fraudulent fill-ups, he spotted Jones gassing up - and delivered him to the cops.
