Clip description

After realising she has left her purse at home and cannot buy any fuel, Kymmy (Olivia Patten) steals a demijohn of fuel from the back of a 4WD parked at the service station belonging to a retired couple. Her mother (Lynette Narree) begs her to take it back, saying it will get her into trouble.
