This didn't happen to my Volvo, but please HELP ME!!!

Imbecilic miscreant(s) stole our gasoline last night!! They even spilled several gallons on the ground so the whole neighborhood can smell the gas. I hope those horrible no-good very bad punks... (Wait, I'm supposed to love my enemies... I'll have to meditate on that Bible verse a bit...OK, I'm done) ...eat my shorts!

They left a clear footprint in some mud, but I'm sure the cops don't care about an $80 theft. I had a locking gas cap, but they got it off without even damaging it. What measures could I take to protect my tank from this happening again?!?!?!?!?

 

Wow!!! They usually take gas from businesses like the electric company, bus companies, etc. Hate to say it, keep it low.

 

Put a Veggie Diesel badge on your truck. That might thwart the thieves.

 

I've heard about that. I think marking diesel on a gas car will attract a different kind of thief. You might still get your gas stolen, but at least it would bring them a bad day of justice.

I don't want to keep the gas low. I always like to keep a full gas tank. Oh well...

 

do you pump 91+?

 

Get one of these.
It would be easier to identify the thief than with a foot print - simply take any arms or legs you find around the truck to the Emergency Room and see who they fit.

 

When I had my Mastiff, she did NOT like for anyone to touch my car. A guy did it once and I thought she took his arm off. Scared the crap out of me and him. I never seen anyone disappear so fast in my life.
