A New Canaan Gulf worker on Feb. 1 reported to police that a man who had “borrowed” jumper cables from the station, saying he needed to jumpstart his car, made off with the equipment. At about 7:09 p.m., according to the Gulf employee, a Hispanic man with black hair and tan pants driving a white Nissan Maxima entered the station asking whether he could purchase jumper cables to start car, police said. The Gulf worker was told the vehicle was just a short distance away, police said. He decided to let the stranger borrow the cables, and the latter never returned, according to a police report.
