Neal, you have to share your wealth 😂
 
Back to the Future, 70s all over again.... :-(
 
Does a mouthful of diesel taste worse than a mouthful of gas? Asking for a friend.
 
Around here the methheads have apparently gotten so used to crawling under cars to steal the catalytic converters that they don't care about gas caps anymore. They just go under and slash the filler hose or whatever and stick the hose in there. One was caught just last night doing exactly that. Happily not a lot of cars are really very accessible that way these days. Unfortunately for us folks with hulking great older gas powered RV's...
Years ago in New York they would steal great big "baker's trays". Slide one under a car and simply punch a hole in the tank. Nasty. Never did hear how they got the gas from the trays into a container or other car though. Always wondered.
 
Watch this.... stealing gas by drilling a hole in the gas tank.. sometimes they blow themselves up...

It is time for “frontier justice”. Tall tree and a rope
 
Like I said in another post, it looks like at least in California the thieves are punching more holes in the bottom of fuel tanks and not even checking fuel caps.

Save your money on a locking gas cap and toss a couple rubber snakes under your vehicle. It can't hurt and maybe they will bump their head before they figure out they aren't real.
