Gas Thieves on the Rise
The newest trend in vehicle thefts isn’t the vehicle itself. Now, most thieves are making more money by stealing the gas from your car. This isn’t a new type of vehicle theft, but it is growing in popularity proven by the increase of car owners taking their cars to the body shop.
With the value of a full tank of gas around $70.00 in value black market gas cans are being sold in the back alleys in US cities!
What can you do?
Experts recommend that you buy a locking gas cap, inexpensive at around $5.00 -$10.00 dollars, and park your vehicle with the gas tank ( usually the back end) towards a building or other protected area where a gas thief won’t be able to easily obtain access to the under carriage of your vehicle.
