When he finished filling up, the driver started to leave without taking the gas hose nozzle out of his gas tank.
The hose, stretched to its limit, snapped out of its pump and hit the window of a car that was parked at another gas pump.
Security video shows the driver got out of his car, and picked up some of the broken glass and threw it in the garbage, before he drove away.
The driver is described as a white male, about 5-foot-10, 180 pounds, with dark hair and wearing a black leather coat, black shirt and jeans, police said. He was driving a white Lexus sedan, police said.
