Default RE: Locking Gas Cap and Gas Theft

Tsk Tsk Tsk, the world in which we live in. I remember back in the day (the gas crisis in the 70's) when gas theft was about as common as the morning newspaper. They had all sorts of locks, gas pipe obstructing wire coils and other theft deterents. All to no good as a steel punch, hammer and drain pan and they had all of the gas they needed and you had a monumental PITA in getting the gas tank fixed/replaced. There was one lucky individual (and I wont mention my name) who worked for Oldsmobile that had access to the fleet gas pump. Never ever ever had to worry about only $5 worth of gas or the every other day business as my car (oops!) was filled every night and when not driving around it was locked in a garage.
