Gas Thieves!!!
Gas Thieves!!! So this morning, I jump in my truck and I noticed that the gas cap to my car (which was parked in front of my truck) was just hanging there. I went and closed it and I found a small 3 inch blade knife laying on the hatchback. I dont know if they took any gas cause I had to get to work. But what I want to know is how easy is it to syphon gas out of my car and what can I do to prevent it?

"I just thought how easy would it be for someone to steal gas or try to put something unwelcome into my tank?" So i decided to get a locking cap.

Thats one of the reasons I have a locking gas cap. Good choice on getting one. You never know how desperate some people can get or how crazy they can get by pouring something else into the tank.

well sounds like a situation i will fingerprint that blade and we will go **** em up.we cant beat them with a turbo and force them to sit behind my car while we linelock the bitch and if thats not enough to kill them we will take we can sow their ******** shut and keep feeding em and feeding em and feeding em...sounds like a plan
Well I got home and check the fuel level. It's about the same. Which makes me think that they just couldn't get pass the neck or they put somthing in. Either way, the locking cap is on.
More then likely it was some haters putting **** in. I would drain your gas tank and refill. Someone poured sugar in my old camaro when they got pissed over a parking spot. Just wish someone would make a locking gas cap that can't be opened in two seconds by almost anyone.
