You’re not gonna believe this, but I think somebody siphoned off about a half a tank of fuel out of my truck sometime between the time I got home from the ride Sunday night and this morning. I decided to drive it to work today because the radio went out in the Jeep yesterday, and of course I can’t drive a vehicle without a radio, but when I got down to my BIL’s this morning to check on the horses I noticed that the fuel light was on and I had MAYBE 1/8 of a tank of fuel left. Now I KNOW that I had almost a half a tank when we got back Sunday night, plus I had reset the trip meter when I left home and the trip meter only had 254 miles on it and that truck will go almost 500 miles on a full tank. I had to stop and buy fuel to make it to work! It took almost $50 to get it back up to half full, and at this particular market the pump cuts off at $75 so I just let it go at that. So needless to say, I’m going to Wal-Mart at lunch and buy me a locking fuel cap. I’ll bet it was some high school kid with a big truck and an empty wallet who noticed that it sits there all by itself every day and decided it was easy pickings. :-/ Pissed me off Royally!!!
Dang! Bastages! Phooey.
I’m so sorry that happened! My elderly mom chased some men out of her drive about 2 years ago who were trying that trick on a truck — then THEY CAME BACK and she had to chase them away again!
