The debate is if it were a common enough occurrence and just didn't get much publicity, or if they are just now beginning to take it without paying. A segment on gas prices on Fox news had the newswoman in a BP lot and the lot was empty because no one was getting gas - then she came back on later in the show, and said they were asked to move across the street, it was bad for business for people to see the station empty.

Cindy, a few years ago someone stole an entire tank of gas from my car while I was at work! The price of gas at that time may have been around $2 a gallon if that. The NCAA games were going on, so the parking lot I used was full of partiers. I had fueled up that morning and was totally empty when I drove home! I need to get a lock for my gas cap, I am afraid. I do get to work from home some, so that saves me some $$.

Needless to say,I haven't heard of any drive-offs around here after that.

Better to be safe than sorry....I used to have one way back in the early 90's when I was being stalked (long story). Anyhoo, that person got into my gas tank and then he messed with my brakes.

Well, I don't know of any car here that doesn't have one which locks - either that or you need to pop it open from inside the car like you would your bonnet. Also, almost all petrol stations have automatic number plate recognition CCTV cameras so if you do drive off without paying you automatically get a hefty fine. I think they can even prosecute if they want. Ray - why has gold dropped? Have they found more? elxxx ******** Every man is a fool in some man's opinion

Nora Paperback writer Amazing Grace Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	Right now I think the cheap stuff that I get is about $3.69/ gallon. When we were in L.A. it was nearly $4.00 I actually want to fill up my tank today before the weekend when the prices get more inflated. I've noticed a lot more people around town riding their bikes for errands or to work if they live in town. I've been walking to pick up my daughter from school since the weather has been pleasant, unless we're not going directly home.

Thankfully I'm at 3/4 a tank and don't have to fill up for quite a while yet. But I agree they are scandalous prices. Oh yes and the drive-offs. HEHE they have video cameras all around the gas stations that get your lovely picture at the pump, plus your license plates front and back, make and model of the car. Anyone that thinks they are going to be smooth and escape, HEHEHE you will get caught, as Ray said in his article those three did get caught. Yep. There is no escaping video cameras, they are all around us even behind mirrors in dressing rooms in stores. I refuse to try on clothes in a store now because I know they are there watching me.

Pretty soon, we'll all be confined to our houses cause no one will be able to drive their cars, and in bigger cities where you are too afraid to take public transportation, it's a loss-loss situation. blah Last Edited By: Writer2Be2007 05/10/08 1:09 PM.

Seems to me like they are double-standarding themselves. They complain about one thing,but still do the thing they are complaining about. Our plans for Memorial Day involve a cook-out at home in our yard.

With gas prices the way they are at this time,our vacation plans are off. We had planned to take a trip to Vermont this July,but there's no way we could afford to do it.
