Gas Prices too High

I read online that because gas prices are too high that people may try to siphon gas from your car. Well, yesterday, Shane and I went to eat at Sugar's Ribs and my car was fine on the way there, however, when we went to left, my check engine light was on. I know one of the reasons that will come on if your gas cap isn't on securely. When we got home, that was the first thing I checked and sure enough, my gas cap wasn't on at all. It was just sitting there and just fell out when I opened my gas door. Also, the little silver flap that the gas pump nozzle pushes in, was completely gone!!!

No gas was missing per my gas gauge; but Shane seemed to think someone tried to siphon gas and then had to leave in a hurry and broke that silver flap.

it really pisses me off when people try to take things that don't belong to them. Everyone is hurting because of high gas prices, but you manage to get gas if you want to want to become a home body.

I called Sugar's just to make them aware in case they see anyone around or it happens to someone else.

Other than that, my 4th of July was good. I saw the movie, Hancock and it was really good!!! I would recommend seeing it.

I have heard alot about stealing gas lately even in big truck ( my work) and and I am like you we have to work hard to be able to have gas for the family to be able to do little things. I hate to think it is time for a locking gas cap again. Posted by: cindy at July 5, 2008 5:40 PM
I don't think I would like locking gas caps; but if you have to keep the thugs away, I guess I'm all for it!! Posted by: Sabrina at July 5, 2008 9:14 PM
