    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.

      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.

        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.

    Most modern vehicles have fuel inlets that are specifically designed to prevent siphoning. If you want to steal gas, you’ll need to drill a hole in the (often plastic) gas tank underneath the car.

      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.

      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.

        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.

          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.

      I unfortunately tried this as a teen. Didn’t work, and you would have to breathe in the entire tube of vapor before you can expect to get any liquid out. Was instantly nauseous and had a headache for a few days. Everytime I see an actor do this I get pretty triggered. What a strange trope.
