How does BOSS make a difference...?

BOSS, the British Oil Security Syndicate, campaigns to make petrol stations safe and secure environments by working with retailers and the police to tackle forecourt crime including bilking, Drive-Off and No Means of Payment incidents.
BOSS estimates there are 1.5 million unpaid fuel incident reports per annum which cost UK forecourt operators around £100m a year. The majority of incidents are believed to be a genuine mistake, however, there is a cohort of offenders who appear to deliberately evade paying for fuel.
The police spend considerable time recording and dealing with forecourt crime incidents. BOSS estimates police forces commit more than 800,000 resource hours per annum in dealing with retail fuel theft incidents.
BOSS Payment Watch helps retailers to recover more than £35 million each year.
