US-COMMODITIES-OIL-ENERGY-BOOM-CRIME
TO GO WITH AFP STORY: Commodities-oil-energy-price-US-boom-crime by Mira Oberman.
This June 18, 2008 photo shows Midland County Sheriff Gary Painter standing next to a pump jack outside of Midland, Texas. The wide open oilfields of West Texas are ripe pickings for thieves these days. Some drive up to one of the thousands of pump jacks that dot the countryside and siphon crude out of the storage tanks. Some pull up to a drill site after the crews have gone for the night and haul away tools, pipes and equipment. Others take kickbacks, file false invoices or just plain steal knowing their bosses are too busy riding the oil boom to keep a close eye on accounting. AFP PHOTO/COR
