Taking a Stab at Your Wallet and Gas Tank: The Dangers of Gas Theft
And the solution isn't as simple as it seems since gas theft is a quiet crime.“Within like three minutes they can take it out, it’s what they want,” said Hussein, demonstrating the converter theft with a saw.But when its a drill versus a plastic tank,"it's as easy as that."
Even holding a drill up to a tank to demonstrate the crime, Hussein said,"I get scared it could ignite, we could really blow up the whole car."To make matters worse, he says there's really no way to protect yourself: no way to cover a gas tank to prevent the theft."At least 1,500 to $2,000 now to repair a gas tank – we can’t repair them, they have to be replaced," said Hussein.
