So I just got the 65 GTO upgraded with Wilwood power disc brakes, power steering, 18" Torq Thrusts, TKO-600 transmission, MSD ignition, and BeCool aluminum radiator. The car was running so good, the wife and I decided to head up to Hoosier Park Casino, which is about a 20 minute drive up the road. We went in and blew about $40, which only took about 20 minutes.

Upon returning to the car, it wouldn't start! After checking the engine, I was baffled. It took me several minutes to realize it, but THE GAS TANK HAD BEEN STOLEN! Someone just cut the straps and fuel line, and took off with it!

Has anyone ever heard of such a thing?!!? Fortunately I have a AAA Gold membership, so I had the car towed back to the shop. I've got the replacement tank on the way, but it makes me wonder... Does anyone have any suggestions on how to prevent this? Maybe weld a bar across the bottom of the tank? I need some ideas!

Thanks!
