Not that I’m looking for advice on stealing gasoline from people, but doesn’t like every car made for the last 20 years have a mesh or something that blocks you from snaking a rubber hose into the tank?
Unfortunately the gas lock in my car stopped working a while ago. So in my case someone tried to do something there and took the gas cap with them for some reason.
Yeah, a lot of the time the fuel door either locks with the regular doors or they require pulling a lever in the cabin. That being said, people forget to lock their doors sometimes, and I can’t imagine the latch is that strong.
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.

Whew, for a moment there I was getting a little suspicious… 🤔 (/s)
This whole thread is suspicious.
A lot of the doors are also locked as well. Cant open unless the key is inside the car or pop it manually with a button.
I mean, a small pry tool could get it open in a second or two.

Can confirm, I successfully broke the latch in family car by smashing the fuel door too hard.
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.

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.
Just target old lorries bro
Lots of old lorries parked in movie theater parking lots where you live?
How else would their drivers go see movies?
I dontthink they do, and you should try it
