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.
