He could probably re-charge the cards for the correct amount. The police would obviously be privy to the same information if they caused a fuss. I assume there is some concept in the law that doesn't allow people to take advantage of obvious errors.

It was wrong and they knew it. And for all we know, that $1,700 could wipe out Christmas for the family of the owner. Exactly. It was wrong and they knew it.

This really is no different, then an ATM machine spitting out $20s and only charging your account $10. People can try to justify it as a bank error in their favor, but when they start calling friends, its a good indication that they knew that the deal was too good to be true to begin with. $1,700 isn't a lot in the long run, but if this gas station had been shorting people on gas, you can bet that those same consumers would be up in arms over themselves being ripped off. It would have been one thing if the cost of gas was off by 10%, but when its a 90% discount, people should have known that it wasn't legitimate.
