    I'm from LA...not Lower Alabama...lol!

    Thieves will do what they do.

    I'm living in small town Delaware...and I've transitioned well.

    We live close enough to the beach and even have out-of-staters invade our beaches this time of year.

    We live in a HOA housing estate which means I can't park a trailer in my driveway.

    We are fortunate to have a great "Neighborhood Watch" to keep things somewhat safe in our estate.

    If you park off the main road for say hunting, fishing, kayaking, hiking then it is a totally different ballgame than parking at home.
    Gas siphoning, spare tire theft, cat cutting….just some of the problems we inherit when thieves aren’t incarcerated.

    When I had my second gen they drilled drain and vent holes in my tank to steal four gallons of Arco gas. It was parked in the driveway also. I think it was like a $600 insurance claim since they installed a used tank.

    Gas has dropped about $2.00 a gallon from a few weeks ago so I don't think it's that big of an issue really.

    Is that all it takes for criminals to stop criminaling? Better let people know, we can completely eliminate crime.

    I’m in the business of taking theft reports. In the last several years, I’ve taken drilled tank reports, but none for siphoning.

    doubt many people would report siphoning, thats just 50 bucks bucks probably, unless the tank was totally full at the time. A drilled tank can be close to 1000$ dollars though.

    You’d be REALLY surprised… people report their extension cord was stolen or a $10 yard gnome.
