Carla ‘Bluechecked’ Marinucci @cmarinucci For the SECOND time here in Oakland, thieves have drilled a hole in my husband's truck parked in driveway and drained the gas from the tank. Can someone explain: is this an Oakland thing? A CA thing? Is there anything you can do to prevent it? WTF @OaklandPoliceCA
The problem is the gas. don’t put it in the truck.
You need to work on your title.
Can someone repost this headline in English?
Modern vehicles have a number of anti-siphoning technologies that help to deter the practice. Among them are fuel doors that lock when the vehicle is locked, check valves that won’t allow fuel to come up the tube, or screens that prevent a hose from reaching down into the tank itself. That’s what has driven many criminals towards the destructive behavior of drilling straight into the tank itself.
It’s a ‘CRIMINAL’ thang................
wait- what?
Chinese may also make more sense in this case.
I cant understand the title
Try this headline:

Even though I am a known writet, I can’t fire put the heardlin.

Better. Sorry. I’m a trucker and on side of the road. Doing best I can.
I bet they were just poor people, needing gas to get to the work!
Ask banks, if you have doubts about what I say. 🤣
It’s called EQUITY
She could get an electric truck. They still drill it but it’s to let the electricity out. Hilarity ensues.
The recommended solutions for stopping thieves from drilling directly into the gas tank itself are lame measures, and they may not be available either. The only possible effective measure would be a very loud alarm that would be activated when the fuel tank is disturbed in the slightest of disturbance encountered.
