He realised later that day but said nothing.
He didn't get any comeback.........
We used to get this all the time at work, nothing was ever done because the cameras wernt good enough to read the reg  However they have been changed since then and are much better, but the police dont want to know about it if the customer has come in to buy something as it's not classed as a drive off so nothing can be done.
Oh really? 
Even if they ask you "any fuel?"

Seriously, the police round here had enough of us constantly reporting drive offs they made it clear not to let me know about it if the customer came into the shop. If we ask if they have any fuel and the customer says no and then goes without paying it's apparantly our fault and need staff training 
However i dont think this is going to be the case for every place but you'll have more luck at a supermarket garage as the police know they expect massive loss each year on fuel.

Its still theft, you still need to report it. God knows why they're telling you otherwise

I would just carry on filling up there as normal and if they ask you when you are there then pay it.
