LPG tank disguised as a petrol tank would make 'em think again.

Or never think again as the case may be.

Once they've been flash frozen to -40 a quick tap on the head  and then a dustpan and brush to clean up the bits.

reminds me of terminator 2

Seems there is a petrol thief on our street or I am totally over reacting ! I only noticed this the other day but the thieving could have been going on longer.

Range 12 miles, so I stuck 50 quid in which brought it to nearly 3/4 full. A trip to work and back (motorway) 18 miles, next day I start up only 1/2 a tank.

Its never used that much I think.

A friend gives me £10 for picking up some tables, so I put the £10 in as I am going on a 100 mile round trip today. The fuel filler cap is loose, I always 'click' tighten it.

I lock the car and try to open the fuel cover cap to which I can do with surprising ease despite a locking pin coming out.

Hmmm... I think, so off I trot to Halfords to buy a locking fuel filler cap! £15.99p (yeah expensive but so is fuel).

I have also noticed that you can get a hose pipe or fuel line down the fuel filler neck and actually get petrol out, so I think someone is helping themselves to the odd gallon or two.

I haven't cleaned the car for a while, nor have I filled it up much above 1/2 tank. So maybe these petrol thieves are cleaver enough to notice my finger marks along a dirty car near to where I fill her up and thought, oww.. he's filled up.

I have actually thought as of late, god this car is using some fuel, I know its a 3.0 V6 but it shouldn't be using so much lol.

Looks like they'll have a nice surprise when they try it again. 

Just a little update on this thread,i have been working 3 till 11 at night.I am working locally so only put in a tenner on monday,went out today to the car.The petrol flap was open and the cap was on the ground,so it looks like the thieves are operating in birmingham as well.Locking cap tomorrow for what good it will do,shitheads if i catch them.There will 3 hits in it me hitting them,them hitting the floor,and the ambulance hitting 70 on the way to the general

Easiest thing I have used is 'steel hedgehog' that you push down into the filler neck and it then cannot be taken out because its barbs face upwards. It cannot be pushed all the way down into the tank either. It only cost me a couple of quid at a local car boot a few years ago and being stainless steel it will not corrode.
