A month ago I noticed that my father-in-law’s Honda Civic had been tampered with. I wasn’t sure if it was done by the previous owner or when it was parked at my house. Then yesterday when I was filling my tank I noticed my car had been tampered with too.
Someone is going around and removing the anti-siphon flaps from the filler necks on cars. With the cost of gas going up people are getting desperate and draining gas from neighborhood cars. They’ve been smart and not draining the tank only skimming from the tank to avoid notice. I immediately bought locking gas caps for both my cars. It’s worth the $12 for the added protection.

Glad to have found your blog entry… I thought I was going crazy! Three cars, and all three used to have a plate in them (all 3 GM’s), and not now. They looked very much like your middle picture. Went right out to get 3 locking fuel caps :^)
Thanks for a good deed done 2 years ago, helpful to me today!
