It's difficult if not impossible to siphon gas on a new vehicle now. The big thing is to just punch a hole in the plastic gas tank, let it fill the jug, and the rest pours out on the ground. Like NorthStar said, it's more to keep anyone from putting anything in the tank than to discourage them from stealing gas. Bored kids are usually the culprits of this type of thing, and with lots of kids being "home schooled" these days, I suspect they have more time on their hands than normal.Why unfortunately? I love this option as there's nothing to lose, leave loose, etc. Plus when was the last time you heard of gas being stolen? I've not heard about this happening in the last 10 years. I guess it happens but not in our area. Too many of us carry persuasion.
