Not that I'm looking for advice on stealing gasoline from people, but doesn't like every car made for the last 20 years have a mesh or something that blocks you from snaking a rubber hose into the tank?
A lot of the doors are also locked as well. Cant open unless the key is inside the car or pop it manually with a button.
Yeah, a lot of the time the fuel door either locks with the regular doors or they require pulling a lever in the cabin. That being said, people forget to lock their doors sometimes, and I can't imagine the latch is that strong.
Can confirm, I successfully broke the latch in family car by smashing the fuel door too hard.
I mean, a small pry tool could get it open in a second or two.
Whew, for a moment there I was getting a little suspicious... 🤔 (/s)
This whole thread is suspicious.
This isn't the worse way of being added to a list.
Thanks CIA guy.
I'm speaking as a DND player. I once spent a non-insignificant amount of time researching common, naturally found poisions that are difficult to detect because I was playing a poisoner ranger in a futuristic setting where earth was getting torn apart. (We were on a giant space station and would go to earth for missions)
Whatever you say pal.
Yeah there's a lot of things in place to prevent this, however most gas tanks are plastic now and one could easily punch a hole and drain it that way.
It’s seems like anyone doing this kind of thing wouldn’t have the discipline or forethought to transfer the gasoline from a large shallow pan you would have to fit under the car, to an actual canister you could transport effectively. Resulting in a lot of waste and damage for very little profit.
What you do is have a tube with an end that fits the hole you melt, connected via a little pump to your jerrycan. Bob's your uncle.
At least, if I was doing it, like a prick who did not care about damaging someone's car, that would be how.
I dontthink they do, and you should try it
Screwdriver or equivalent?
Just target old lorries bro
Curious, I think what you call lorries are what we call a semi (semi-truck). Ours mostly use diesel fuel. Do yours take petrol instead?
... or did I just think way to hard into a joke
