I caught a guy siphoning gas from a neighbor's car!

man, I dont know how he did it. I had to empty my tank once on my truck (full tank and the driveline went through it), and I didnt have a pump. I tried sucking it through and the fumes were so harsh. I went out and bought a pump!!

Give him a break! For the gas prices these days, people would kill their own mothers to get a free gallon of gas.

That would have been funny to watch if he was siphoning it by mouth. You could see him get a mouth full of gas, then puke!!

The scary thing is how he got access to a lot of these gas tanks... imagine this guy taking a screwdriver and prying the door open on your S2K....

He didn't have a screwdriver or any tool to pry opem the gas doors. He was specifically going after vehicles that have a manual fuel door and large gas tanks, ie. Chevy and Ford trucks and SUVs.

I sat and watched the whole thing until the police came.
