    We kept getting gas cans stolen from our chicken farm. The last time it happened, we dissolved 5lb of sugar into the can. Never had a problem again.

    Easy to check if it is sugar. Get several chunks of it and let it dry out to evaporate residual gas. Get same amount of sugar from your kitchen and place it next to it on a non flammable surface. Heat both piles up until it melts, changes colour and let it cool down. |If both look and reacted the same then good chance it is sugar. If adventuresome you could do a little taste too with tip of tongue. Don't swallow!

    Might be a dumb question, but wouldn’t sugar dissolve in the gas?

    I would pour sugar in your tank, too.

    Who did you piss off? No one does this randomly, it's kind of a pain in the ass.

    Lmfao! They’re great on road trips :rofl:

    Honestly, I have no clue. I work at a ER, my gf thinks it could be our psych patients. Sounds crazy but we do have frequent flyers on meth, etc. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was at work.

    Probably just the crackheads we get at work when I kick them out after demanding narcotics.

    I mean im sure not everyone I meet likes me, but you really have to hate someone to do some shit like this. Im pretty easy going with people so I really don’t know..

    I’m buying a quality dash cam.
