    Anybody Buying A Lock For Their Gas Tank?

    With gas prices going up, I wouldn't be suprised if siphoning will be popular pretty soon.

    Its been happening in some places already. I can't remember where it was but I saw it on the news. They weren't even siphoning, they were putting holes in the tanks and collecting the draining fuel!

    Both our cars have them, but dont most newer
    cars have a cover that locks
    and you have to pull that lever or push a button
    to open

    the whole threead made me laugh - guys you are not in africa - you're in the states. Why would you steal gas from people, even if the price is a bit higher, so why would others do it to you?

    I wouldn't worry about it, gas has been high before. It's still not bad compared to other countries.

    Didn't know gas tanks had locks on them.

    Not worried, I envoke the right to my shotgun if the situation arises.

    Someone hears you pump it once and they piss their pants.

    Man, I remember seeing this kind of stuff on the news the last time gas went $4+
    Funny how gas is one of the few things people will actually go to a different shop when the difference is only pennies.

    Don't think I'll get a lock on the gas cap but been hearing from the media about people ripping off the gas stations lately. Pretty foolish with all the video cameras out there. Big brother is watching and you will get caught.

    Damn Nigerians are coming over into the middle class neighborhoods stealing gas. But now what do you do to the under 18 kid (that the parents most likely sent out to go steal gas). Right away it will be a racial issue and lawsuit if you hit the kid too.

    People steal all sorts of low monetary value stuff such as gas...

    No need for a lock in the gas tank. Just made sure my guns are loaded with ammo.

    yeah the price of a locking cap doesn't justify the damage one might do to my truck to get said gas.

    i tried siphoning gas from random cars when i was a teenager......it was not as easy as I thought it would be

    large amounts of marijuana probably played a role in me ******* it up though
