Warning!!!!!

time to set traps.

heres an idea.

leave 2 5 gallon gas can behind or in front of your car. Fill them up 80% water and 20% gas (so it smells)
Do it now because you need to get gas into the tanks now so it makes sense they would be there.

Let sit over night.

I'm sure the guys that stole it won't think twice.

From personal experience, I recommend Mr Hunter's suggestion. Emotionally, it can be highly rewarding.

Several years ago there was a rash of engine oil theft from the boats berthed around me. Everyone had a good idea of who the culprits were. A tube of valve lapping paste mixed with a gallon of fresh oil removed all doubt.

Best part was that the engine rebuilder didn't suspect sabotage so he didn't flush the oil passages. Three months later, a relapse.

To this day I still savor the memory of all that smoke pouring out of the stack.

Just don't forget yourself, or you'll be kicking yourself in the butt.

Reports of this happening down here in Jersey also.. I hate the fact that the X-TERRA'S don't have the locking gas Panel/Cover. Like most other SUV's have a inside release latch to open it up...

On another note - Crude Oil up another $1.69 a barrell RECORD HIGH AGAIN Today...

This has the makings of a genuine, bonafide domino-effect fiasco.
With the price of fuel going thru the roof, people have started to resort to stealing. The "new" trend for homes now are wood burning stoves. They will be, if not already, hard to find and priced outrageously to boot. Next will be obtaining the fuel for these home fires, and subsequently, the protection of your wood supply.
I couldn't have imagined even 2 years ago that I would be considering retro-fitting our home for a wood burning stove to save having to burn oil for heat AND hot water.
The phrase "Keep the homefires burning" will have new meaning in the days to come.
