Do it in an upper class neighborhood at least.
Older cars are the only ones susceptible to this, and those aren’t generally driven by the types of people who can easily afford more gas.
Where's the fucking fuel hole on a Tesla? Please hurry.
You mean not in an upper class neighborhood then?
Do newer cars have some mechanism to prevent this? It’s pretty basic physics, but I suppose you could put some obstacles in there to prevent a tube from reaching the liquid.
I believe most cars produced these days have a screen or valve that prevents siphoning. They allow liquid in, but prevent a hose from reaching the tank.
Every car I've had in the last two decades has a door over the fuel hole that locks when the doors are locked.
Pry bars are a thing.
All fun and games until someone pokes a hole in the tank and drains it into a pan under the car.
Also has the perk of not damaging the fuel door and potentially setting off an alarm if it's there.
Or so I hear.
I just mean the old cars in an upper class neighborhood are less likely to be driven by poor people while still being vulnerable to this siphoning because yes, sadly newer cars have meshes or locking mechanisms to deter gas siphoning.
But I mean if there’s bigotry stickers on the car by all means go whole ham no matter where it’s parked. Hell stick a lentil in the tire valve caps while you’re at it.
