Brazen gas desperados

We had a story today about a spike in gas thefts from cars, a la the trend that hit back in the 70s during the days of gas rationing. I wanted to tell you that I was a victim years ago. Someone sucked the gas out of my pickup truck. Pretty ticked off I drove over to Pep Boys to get one of those locking gas caps and haven't had a problem since. But, now, it seems that the crooks are going further by busting into gas tanks, bypassing the gas caps. Desperate times, my friends.
