Gas Stolen

***Ed Blown Vert*** · 08-10-2006, 05:07 PM

I guess the prices for gas is getting too high for some people.

Filled up the tank on the DD last night. When to work this morning and the tank was just under 3/4

Damn thieves siphoned gas out of my tank in the driveway right next to the front door and bedroom window.

They are lucky I didn't catch them, they would have had a pistol right in their face.

hahahah that sucks man I got a locking gas cap a while back when prices started to jump.. I knew people would start doin shit like that.. Im surprised people arent doing the drive off thing again after filling up..

I completely forgot to get one. But I have one now.

Dam Ed, I've had a locking gas cap for years, try liveing in the barraks, at least they didn't fill your tank up with water or p*ss so you didn't notice any gas was gone

i cant believe some people, how bad do you have it to start stealing gas, commiting a crime for 45 bucks at the most.

doesnt make sense to me, not worth the risk, if you're gonna steal something at least make it something worth while

The Vert never had one. But it is always in the garage. When I bought the Envoy, never thought to get one.

**ss~zoso~ss** · 08-10-2006, 05:46 PM

o it was your envoy?, how many gallons do u figure were taken

**snaggeltooth** · 08-10-2006, 05:49 PM

it is weird . You go to some gas stations and they say the drive offs are real bad , others say that it never happens to them....

Well the tank holds 18.7 Needle was just under 3/4.
That is about 4.675 gallons. So it make sense they were carrying a 5 gallon container.

locking gas caps dont stop the bastards from stealing gas. there was an article in the local newspaper last week about cars parked overnight at a tire store that had the gas tanks punched opened and drained the gas

Well at 50 dollars a pop and it only being a misdemeanor if they got caught.. some people are that hardup and figure its worth the risk..

The ones without driveoffs might have more external cameras... may have pay first signs .. and back in Virginia its state law if you get caught pumping and pulling off they take your license no questions asked.

yea but its a definite deterrant for the local neighborhood dipshit just randomly looking for easy targets.

**needmorepwr** · 08-10-2006, 08:10 PM

I was thinking of getting a locking cap since this shit went on many years ago during the gas crunch of the 70's. Now I am getting one for sure. Thanks for the reminder and sorry you got ripped off.

**Wesman** · 08-10-2006, 08:12 PM

I though all of the newer gas tanks in cars had an anti-siphon feature??

Must be easier to get around it than I thought...

**99 Formula** · 08-10-2006, 10:01 PM

im sure there is a way if they want it bad enough..just like our * ORY * pipes lmao..sorry bout your loss of fuel man ..but thanks for the reminder!!

**TMF** · 08-11-2006, 05:24 AM

Yea, with these prices, it's time to get a locking cap
