Pretty sure pushing down rlly hard while turning hard on the cap defeats the locking ones for the 2nd gens, lets hope it not the same for u guys.

People are crap.... but atleast u still have ur cats i guess.
 
You didn't put one if those stickers on youre gas tank lid that days " Taco Sause Only" did you? [emoji1]
I have a Stant on my 18 Tacoma from it's second day home. I have trust issues. It's not what they can take out, it's what they can put in.
 
How do they steal the gas?

Small diameter rubber hose, a 5/16 or 3/8 fuel line, small electric fuel pump. It will drain your fuel tank in 10 minutes. I have a setup that I use to drain fuel tanks when I have to drop them for repair. Two 6 foot pieces of 3/8 fuel line, an electric fuel pump and a small motorcycle 12 volt battery.

If a rubber hose won't fit, a length of vinyl tubing can be put on the suction end of the pump.

Here the thieves just drill a hole in your gas tank.

I worked a scene at a gas station for a gas leak. Thieves had drill a hole in the gas tank to the Methodist church van. The van driver said the gas light was on when she left church and in the log it had 1 mile on a fill up. Crazy to steal from a church that will pay whom Evers bills or give them food.
 
About 5 years ago I came out a store, after only being inside for less than 10 minutes to find the black plastic housing that goes around my tailgate latch handle on my 06 GMC Sierra gone. At first I thought it fell off, as it is only held in place by six sticky pads with 3M adhesive on them. When I went to the local GMC dealer he told me that they were sold out of the part, as there had been a rush on them. It seems that the local high school graduating class had a contest to see who could steal the most of these parts. Price to replace it? $35. I wish I could have caught the little prick that swiped it and closed his hand in the tailgate.
