Mel, I'm glad you found your own open window and stepped through it.
Oh my lord that would sooooooooooooo tick me off beyond belief!!! You know what I've noticed though.....when mankind goes through some sort of upheaval (a riot, a natural disaster, hard economic times) many turn into a weird Lord of the Flies mentality. LIke the story I heard on NPR yesterday where a woman finally got to return to NO after 3 years due to Katrina and started to rebuild her home....only to have her brand new copper pipes stolen the day after they were put in. BS like that, like what happened to you too, just po's me off.

Yeah. I'm surprised it isn't happening more when gas prices were so high around $4.00 mark here. I worry about people messing with our car since it's not parked where we can visibly see it but my Grandma can and if I ever worry about it I can always park it across the street at her house.
I'm so sorry! That really sucks. There is a way to siphon it without sucking it in though. My DH has the pump kind. He's a mechanic and has to have it for his job. Hope you get your locking cap soon.
We had to get locking caps not only to save our fuel but some dumbass was taking the metal gas caps from all the cars in the neighborhood and recycling them for metal! A neighbor got the guy and didn't press charges. Another dumbass. The 1st DA was back the next weekend to gather the rest of the gas caps he got interrupted stealing the weekend before. I wanted to put spring snake coils in the gas compartment to fly out and scare the hell out of him. I'm sorry that happened to you!
