I think siphoning is a thing of the past.

The new thing to do is steal the plates off of a simular car and then drive away from the gas station without paying.

Keep an eye on your plates.

not that i know of, but i know a couple of people who CLAIM it happens to them all the time. locking gas caps only slow the thief down. if someone wants your gas they will get it, unless you keep your vehicles inside under guard, but don't fall asleep.

Yes, but locking gas caps prevent that from happening again.

It appears that someone on a MC tried to steal gas from a contaminated storage tank.
I really hope they got enough to ruin their MC, teach them a lesson that theft is evil

Yes, from a rental truck over 25 years ago. Fortunately, the scumbags did not take from both tanks.
