yeah, lower than whale chit.. saw it on channel 7, the news reporter that did the story asked the cop about risk of explosion, the cop said that these guys must have some kind of mechanical knowledge, as they primarily target cars with the plastic composite tanks. They have seen a few done to metal tanks, but not many. Pretty stupid sending hole saw sparks into a gas tank.. must be the smarter ones doing the plastic tanks. No blow ups yet.. if one happens, I'd have no sympathy for the SOB.

Remember the gas shortages of the 70"s..Siphoning happened all the time,but not to the extent of drilling out the tanks...I think a lot of the Jeep models have plastic tanks??

I'm going where I'm going...

Gasoline itself is not flammable, gasoline vapor is. That's how they can drill your tank. Still, it's theft and I despise thieves. It won't break my heart to find a charred theif skeleton under the remains of my car.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
