Fuel theft
Stop fuel theft, minimise your losses.
Fuel thieves cost you money every day. We get it back for you — digitally, fast and with no effort on your side.
You know the problem.
A daily occurrence
Fuel theft is part of everyday life at German fuel stations. Whether a deliberate drive-off or simply forgetting to pay at the till, the financial consequences always land on you as the operator.
Fuel theft causes direct losses.
Drivers leave the station without paying — the financial damage adds up day after day and noticeably eats into your margin.
Chasing each case costs valuable time.
Noting plates, securing CCTV footage, compiling evidence and following up every single case ties up the staff you need at the till.
Low success rate with manual processing.
Without digital processes and automated keeper identification, most fuel-theft incidents go unresolved — and your money is lost for good.
Our solution for your fuel station.
The solution
FalschParker gives fuel station operators everything they need to capture fuel-theft incidents fast, document evidence in a legally sound way and enforce claims automatically — no staff effort, no legal risk, completely free for you. The offender bears the cost.
Report fuel theft instantly.
Open the app, enter the vehicle's number plate and confirm the station location. The incident is logged in under 20 seconds.
Document evidence directly.
Upload CCTV footage and the fuel receipt — timestamp, amount and location are captured automatically. Legally sound proof at the tap of a button.
Trigger the claim instantly.
We handle keeper identification, invoicing and, if needed, debt collection — a few clicks, fully automated, legally compliant under German law.
Check shop payment.
Check in seconds whether the fill-up was already paid in the shop. Only genuine fuel-theft cases are processed further.
Who is this for?
Ideal for these station types.
Independent stations.
You carry the full risk of fuel theft yourself. With FalschParker you report every incident in seconds and recover the outstanding amount — with no effort of your own.
Branded & agency stations.
Protect your site from recurring losses to drive-offs. The app documents every case in a brand-compliant way and gives your network clean reporting.
Motorway services & rest stops.
High traffic, anonymous customers — motorway sites are especially prone to fuel theft. Capture incidents right at the till, before the plate is forgotten.
Unattended & automated stations.
No staff on site means higher risk. Combine your CCTV with FalschParker and report fuel theft even after the fact — with a complete chain of evidence.
