Soon this crime will be categorized as a terrorist act, punishable by death.

I imagine as fuel becomes scarce they'll probably have escorts and possibly add armor to the cab of the fuel truck (bullet proof it at least).

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('frankthetank', 'S')oon this crime will be categorized as a terrorist act, punishable by death.


It already is considered terrorism it seems. When I heard about this on the radio, the person making the press announcement said something to the effect of "there's a lot of other things you can do with that much fuel beside heating your home."

Best way to stop this is have them tracked by GPS like they do with trucking fleets that handle HAZMAT. THat way if they get stolen they can be recovered fairly quickly.

I saw in the news this morning, there were a couple of guys in California, had a trailer all set up to siphon gas from gas stations. The guy would fake a breakdown with the trailer setting over the tank fill holes, then a guy in the trailer would drop a false bottom off the trailer, run a hose down to the underground tanks, and pump the fuel out while the driver "worked" on the truck.
