Some CREEP siphoned gas from one of our cars last night
and damaged the locking door thingie ..and KEPT the actual gas cap.. The only consolation is that the gas was in our ancient Corolla wagon that has been sitting for about 6 months, and the gas is not all that "fresh"..

RIGHT IN FRONT OF OUR HOUSE...under the street light.. cheeky bastards:grr:

1. Ah, time to get one of those ugly locking gas caps. The 70's are back.

Six sticks of dynamite, wired to blow if anyone messes with the gas cap.

2. I had that happen earlier this year.
The funny thing is, I drive a diesel vehicle that is only marked on the inside of the door to the gas cap. In the dark, I doubt they noticed.

Wonder how much that cost them to get fixed?

5. Get a stronger lock thing, but don't make the lock obvious
maybe if your lucky, it'll break their blade if they try to do it again.
