    Got siphoned in Fallon Nevada in front of Big 5/ Dollar Tree. Fuckers. Glad my tank wasn't drilled or fuel lines cut.
    Be prepared

    If I recall siphoning can damage a valve in the fill tube, so you may be in for that damage.

    That I am. Thankfully it's only $50 for the filler housing. I need to figure out if my tank has a bottom drain

    I think the use of profanity is well justified here. This kind of shit turns America into an angry place.
    Sorry for your loss. Think positive; no busted windows or missing cats. Like it says in the Bible; sad but true.

    I've bought a couple from the parts stores like AutoZone in the past. Don't have one on the Tacoma though.

    I might have to add a locking gas cap to my never ending Tacoma mod checklist. This is my first vehicle that doesn't have a locking gas lid and it's the newest one too.

    Well I just bought one even though they can be picked pretty easy. With gas prices so high I don't feel like hassling with a potential theft.

    Criminals today have more rights? More freedom?
    Stealing you gas from your truck? What do you think the penalty would be?

    I don't use one. I figure it's better to let them get it from the top instead of drilling the tank.

    Idiots couldn't even do a clean job of siphoning the gas out.

    I've been hit. They didn't damage anything though. I've been told there's a tiny screen that's put there to prevent someone from siphoning the tank. :notsure:

    This is my set up of 3 years.
