Acushnet, Mass. heating oil mystery solved

Police have been searching for a heating oil thief in Acushnet, Mass.

Authorities thought a large amount of heating oil was siphoned out of the Acushnet, MA community center near the summer's end. Seeing how the oil prices have skyrocketed, a heating oil thief seemed very likely.

It turns out, a worker at the community center turned the heat on to 82 degrees at the beginning of the year. The heat was left on the entire summer, along with the air conditioning.

The culprit? This waste of energy used up every last it of oil.
