Another reason NOT to use the "Water Thief"

There is a dump station at Rifle Gap State Park here in Colorado that has potable water outlets at each end of the island that are clearly marked "potable water" and are clearly meant for filling RVs, but use unthreaded nozzles at the end of hoses. In this case, there are no signs that prohibit filling RVs. It really makes no sense, though, because I watched another RV with an open water inlet just stick the hose end into his inlet. I had to use my water thief and managed to fill my tank, but I left the screwdriver I used to tighten the thief at the dump station.

Maybe that's why they're using the unthreaded nozzles: they're collecting screwdrivers.
