That pretty much stops all theft, cat theft AND gas theft, an obviously no one is going to steal a radio out of a truck with windows so black you cant even tell it has a radio

Yep, you can't get under my truck unless you jack it up. These running boards are almost scraping the ground
Limo tint is next on the list

Do one some guy did on here and leave a few 5-gallon cans outside with oil in them instead of gas. That'll teach them a lesson!

Not really. Do you realize that gas filler necks have been anti-siphon since the middle of the 1990s? Regardless, I'd like to see someone crawl under my car to drill my gas tank, if they do, they can take my gas.

anti siphon is a joke

We have to siphon gas out at my work all the time when we drop fuel tanks for a fuel pump or something.

Anti-siphon just makes it so you can't shove a water hose down the tube any more.

Reminds me of draining the tank on my first car - an 81 280ZX. I drank a bit of fuel that day.... Takes at least a week to get the taste out of your mouth.

the only real anti siphon is your pump shotgun in the guys head. the thought of a major mess should do the trick.

Hmm ... I've personally tried to siphon the gas out of a 2004 Ford and it didn't happen. I don't know, oh well.

do one better, fill em with watered down gas, still has the smell of gas but its mostly water, I be carrying my cans around hopefully the ****** will just take them instead. Crooks wont know the difference, they'll pour it in their tank go to start car and nothing but ruined engine. You could suppliment some water for sugar and that'll surely screw them over. But I'd rather have a "locking something" on my tank to keep them from coming back and dumping that crap back in my tank.

1. It doesn't matter how much fuel you have in your tank. The criminals wont know that its almost empty until they puncture it and start draining. The result will still be a tank that needs replacing.

2. I wish the news wouldn't advertise the methods criminals are using. IMO it only serves to encourage other criminals to do the same.
