It's already bad enough and has had such a negative impact on our whole economy that we need to be aware of this problem.

I am actually very surprised that with the prices being so high that 'gas stealing by siphoning from private vehicles' has not appeared to become a major problem yet. OR, maybe it has, just not in my area.
I am considering purchasing a 'locked' cap because of this potential. It costs me about eighty six to fill up and that is horrendous!
IT IS A PROBLEM ! My apartment complex had to send notices around due to siphoning - I now only keep 1/4 tank in my car cause I can't afford to be siphoned and re-fill -

2 people I know here were hit and now they have locks on their gas tanks and park so the tank isn't facing an easy access way.....but hell - there's alot of people filling up and driving off without paying now too -

It's just incredible that we are having to go thru this - but man Julie - in Scotland - 11 BUCKS A GALLON ? WOW - the thing is you all are SMART there - here in the USA people drive big gas guzzlers - SUV's - etc ....now they're probably regretting it.
