Get a screw with a rubber grommet to fix the hole.

I hope one gets you, then their buddy gets you the next night.

Add that to thieves cutting out expensive catalytic converters with a simple battery operated grinder becoming a national problem...

I avoid certain urban areas completely now, no reason to ever go there.

I remember people worrying about siphoning, during the last gas scare. It did happen, apparently!

We aren't talking about just siphoning here Willis! It's property destruction.
Go price an installed gas tank for your vehicle!

So. . . now that it can be as expensive as like, $100 for some folks to just fill up, that is one new anxiety for folks, constantly looking out their windows.



It just occurred to me, folks will now start coveting the fuel in your car. . . would they stoop to stealing it? So I did a search, perhaps there are now robberies appearing in the nation. Of course, someone has thought to start doing that.

Watch your gas folks.

Hook the car alarm to a spark plug in the tank.
He wont do that again and you get a new car

Good point! That would be terrible. But I agree the explosion danger would be considerable, so I wonder if it's true.

It's true.

This is a good thread topic, because when gas goes way up, $7 or $8, it's sure to spark a crime wave of this sort.

It's already begun.

Ain't gonna happen in my neck of the woods, but, there are field rats that will chew all of the wiring to the fuel sending unit free of charge.

 

[Ordinary Guy]

They should. But won't.
There will be too many drilling tanks, anyways.

that is why we make sure we have a garage for every car

You gotta go out sometime.

 

[Who_Me?]

Thieves should be shot dead on sight.....Problem solved, problem staying solved.

Well, that's not legal.

 

[1srelluc]

Well, that's not legal.

It is in Texas.

 

[Who_Me?]

It is in Texas.

Well that's too far away for me to park.

The PNW has been experiencing the "catalytic converter thing" for some time now. That engine part is easy to steal, easy to to sell and.... expensive as hell to tow and repair your car when you get robbed. This is actually a very well organized , international crime gig. That being said... a $600 perimeter alarm system is extremely effective in convincing thieves to rob someone else.

You are not being smart.

we are fine here, crime is very low because a body bag could be the result of every transaction

So I take it that there are no cameras in your supermarket parking lot.
Lucky!
