Shoot them on sight if discovered in the commission of the crime.
Just another reason to get the EV everybody wants. NOT!
And now there will be more...
Great! Catalytic converters and now this!
Gas, you can get 10-15 gallons at $5 a gallon.
Home heating oil or kerosene you can steal by the hundreds of gallons, and its a buck more than gas around here. Kerosene tanks are even outside. You just need a big enough tank to pump it into.
Hell, the Dems cannot seem to stop drilling their neghhnors or their neighbors wives!
No drilling in ANWAR = drilling in the Burbs.
They were doing this back in the 70s. I don’t remember them using drills then, though.
“...this has got to be one of the worst times to own a car maybe ever.”
No, but might be the worst time to have your garage so full of junk you can’t put your car away, if you have a garage.
When there are more EVs, will people figure out a way to steal the electricity? I bet they will, but not from the cars, from the utility company, as is done in 3rd world countries.
How soon before you can get a gas cap that looks like a pull out recharge cord with a label “conversion” on it.
Wouldn’t it be just awful if the caused a spark and started themselves on fire?
Rapper Cardi B. (to senile Sleepy Joe who actually "interviewed" her remotely while hiding in his basement during his basement campaign for U.S. President throughout 2020): "Hey, boo!"
Senile Sleepy Joe: "My name's Joe."
Cardi B. (smirked and chuckled because senile Sleepy Joe actually believed Cardi B. thought his name is "Boo Biden")
The guy's in a total fog 24/7/365 - thanks, Democrats/RINOs for that. "Fortunately," there are manipulators & handlers telling him what to do, what to think (if that's even possible for him to do), where to shuffle off to next, what to stumblingly read (from his Trusty Teleprompter), etc. The Ultimate Puppet "President" ...

I remember hearing that in the 70’s it was gas caps being removed to get to the fuel. Within months there were locked gas caps being sold.
It has been going on for years. Neighbor had their gas taken that way a couple years ago.
Wouldn’t the drilling cause friction? Therefore, fire or explosion?
In the Abbey Hoffman book “Steal this Book” from the 60’s, he had a thing where you would drive your hippe vw van into a closed gas station, park it over the tank fill ports, open the hatch door in the floor in the back, drop a line down and pump away.
They are now leaving the catalytic converters on the car..
Everything old is new again. I’m waiting on the vans parking over the service station fill ports pumping fuel from the underground tanks.
Fuel tank drilling wait for flash.
My pickup truck’s gas tank had a hole punched in it in the 80s and what gas wasn’t stollen was on the ground in front of my house. It stank for a long time. I was able to patch it with JB Weld after sanding down to bare metal around the hole. I was nervous about it for the first couple of years. But the repair never failed and still hadn’t when I sold the pickup 35 years later. I pointed it out to the person I sold it to. We cleaned the dirt and grime off the patch, and it still looked good.
The problem these days is that most gas tanks are made out of a type of plastic which is typically more difficult to get glue to bond with. But fear, not there are now products being sold specifically for repairing holes in plastic gas tanks. I would still not fill my tank completely and keep a close eye on it for at least a couple of months, which is why many will just opt for a new tank.
Is there really nothing we can do with sub 85 IQ primates? Maybe we could use them as bio batteries on green energy farms far out in the deserts?
