    I'd use a Trail Cam. It turns on when it senses activity.

    I feel like putting a skid on the entire bottom. Then maybe it would look like too much of a pain and they would move on. Anybody know of something like that?

    I'm truly amazed as to how far people will go...I'd sooner pay for them for a few gallons of gas if they'd just ask instead of having a hole drilled in my tank.

    I was having the same problem with an old bronco of mine, strapped a "spare gas can" fill with water of corse to the roof rack. One empty Jerry can latter and never had it happen again.

    I like this idea except with a little twist. Fill about half way with gas and the other half with alcohol.

    That way it will look and smell like gas but will roast the shit out of their engine.

    Bam crack heads now don't need gas for a broke ass car.:D
