wow that is scary

What a bizarre incident…last thing I’d expect when the “car wouldn’t start” that someone stole the gas tank! Man Jason, sorry for your loss.

That sucks, sorry to hear that. I worked at a place that used to get broken into alot. They would steal the money out of the vending machine, which usually only had $15 to $20 in it tops. They jacked down the spare tire on my 2000 Dakota while it was parked in front of plate glass windows of the building. When they broke in and stole a computer, the company finally got an alarm system. One of the last things taken before the alarm was installed was a gumball machine, wtf. It's funny to think about a guy running down the street with gumballs a clanking. Probably gave it to his kids for Christmas. Losers

We recently put up security cameras at work, someone stole them.

Wouldn't they just have pulled the coil wire? There's no hood lock and it would be easier than dropping the tank.

As most people know its like carrying a pissed off animal when the gas starts rocking from side to side. I would love to see it on video.

LOL! Me too - I can hardly carry mine across the garage without killing myself, much less across a parking lot!

Needed it for their LeMans into a '65 GTO Clone build?

I have this visual of Cheech and Chong with that trash can fuel of gas dumping it into the T-bird...

[TempestFugit]

I can see some loser thinking of it as a performance upgrade... "Man I scored a GTO gastank full of GTO gas!"

Anderson's always been rough. I saw a guy get downtown there in broad daylight in the middle of the street about 20 yr ago. We don't go there unless we have to.

Common for pick-ups and vans, they sit up high and make for easy pickings. Had a w/shield stolen from my Dodge Dart years ago,first they stole the tires(bald)and steel rims then while it sat waiting for new rims they came back and stole my windshield.

[indetrucks]

Maybe someone needed a tank for their Pontiac?

[68lemansman]

Odd and very weird thing that somebody would do that. Id rather have my tank stolen than the entire car. You got lucky.

[GTOMazz]

Craziest thing I heard in long time. I had a friend get his car stolen and was found the next day. The cops called him up to come down and get his car. The crooks put a steering wheel lock on.

Yeah, but a coil wire is as close as the nearest auto parts store. Maybe I'm off on my guess, but stealing a gas tank is pretty bizarre.

Indeed, reminds me of an episode of Breaking Bad and as much sense as the actions of the Meth-heads portrayed...

[Keith Seymore]

Maybe they were looking for the build sheet?

(lol)

It's amazing that the whole car wasn't missing when you came back out.
Since about 1990 it has been unsafe to park a nice GTO anywhere out in the open unattended. If you go park your car in unattended public parking lots, take a Ford
Taurus or Honda Civic.
