Make one of the vans easy to get to the gas tank and fill it with diesel. Bet you'll catch him then. As long as you don't run the van you can just drain it out after. I used to have something similar happen where I worked, they had a van with a hole in the floor with a hose and a pump, they would opent he cap to the in ground tanks and suck up like 50 gallons and drive off.

Orrrrr put a note inside the gas cap that says smile ******* you are on camera, and mount a camera somewhere near the van in a secure location, along with putting diesel in there. More fun that way...

Yeah for some reason the cats on those are worth a lot and you can take them to a scrap yard or sell them on ebay and get some good money.

It's cause they contain Platinum which some scrap yards can extract and sell for a good bit. Back when we were aloud to, I'd take old cats from work and side work at the dealership to the scrap yard and make a good bit of money.

Last time I took 10 and made out with $950. Now you have to have the registration of the car it was off of to sell the cat.
