With gas prices in the U.S. at an all-time high, thieves are finding new ways to steal your gas.
As expensive as it is right now, stories of people stealing gas aren't much of a surprise."They figured a way to pop it. I know for a fact quarter tank of gas and the next morning it was empty," said California resident George Carrier."What the heck am I gonna do now? More security? More stuff to make sure people aren't messing around? Just more stress," he said.
Lieutenant Bill Grisafe with the Pasadena Police Department said, while his department is not seeing an increase in these thefts, it doesn't mean it's not happening. A fuel thief in Wisconsin found a new way to steal gas after they allegedly drilled a hole in the take to steal fuel from an SUV at a used car dealership.
He said, given current economic conditions and rising gas prices, he's not surprised someone tried to poach some fuel, but added that people usually siphon it through the gas cap.
