Your probably lucky you only had a 1/4 tank to steal.

Really screw them , start running the E-85 in your truck. If they don't have a flex fuel vehicle , it will eat all there rubber hoses.

That sux cause the E85 is only $2.80 a gallon.

and it gets less milage per gallon

and it gets less milage per gallon

true...

from what I have been told, though may not be true, is that that the price per gallon vs mile per gallon vs octane is equal to buying gas at the cost of 87 octane with the benefits of running 91 octane.

I aint no tree huggin hippy, but i'd run it if it was locally available.

after doing some googling....seems like theft via siphoning gas is still pretty common.

If someone wants gas bad enough they don't run a hose down the fill neck, they cut the filler hose from below and run a hose into the tank. 
If you go to add fuel and it pours on the gound you've been hit 

Oops. Sorry about that Brad, I was a liitle low on cash and gas. Had to do it. J/K. Hopefully it didnt get stolen, that would suck. I like the laptop idea.

i was gunna stash the lappy under the back seat out of view....but turns out its too dark for the web cam i have.

i set the position on the gas cap and will check if its changed in the morning....and will continue to watch that and my fuel levels. if anything becomes astray, i will invest in a infrared security camera and get this focker on tape and take it to the cops. If I just buy a locking gas cap will divert him to steeling someone elses gas.

All PD's are different, especially county to county. But down here in SD County, there must be at least 5 cars broken into/vandalized in the same parking lot before the cops will even consider showing up. I don't believe it's a written rule, it's just what my experiences have taught me in the last 20 years of my work. The ONLY time I've seen the police show up with one car having been vandalized is when the owner of the vehicle knew the right person/people (excluding vehicles equipped with LoJack). I've even been complained to about the police not showing up by a police officer that had his Camaro broken into. I've been told stories of thief's breaking into a downstairs garage while the occupents were sleeping upstairs, the thief(s) stealing the MB out of the garage, and the police not showing up (police report done over the phone). I've repaired a judge's vehicle and the police did not show up when he filed the police report.

In the grand scheme of things, police officers have a lot more to worry about than some gas being stolen/researching a video in trying to figure out who stole the gas.

As far as you or anyone else on this board dealing with the thief(s), I highly don't recomend it. All of you macho types feel free to have someone else kill you over $15 of gas or a $200 stereo. The kind of person that is stealing your gas/stereo/vehicle etc doesn't give a rats asss about you and chances are that he or she is packing a weapon of some sort and does not care if he or she has to use it. It is not uncommon in SoCal for someone to die in trying to stop a thief.

brad, i have a chevrolet, first when the truck sits the levelers in the tank at a quarter will change and then the low fuel chime will start thinking some piece of work stole the gas, that isnt going to happen maybe Woman used the truck, prob. not it is a chevrolet i thought the same thing, next the new chev flex fuel is a fukin joke the gas cost less but you lose about 20-30 percent of fuel mileage so if you get 18 miles on fuel thus you get 14-15 with flex which they didnt tell you that this in formation is from a GM exec. bythe time you drive 500miles it cost more to use flex fuel in the long run, my quest is that by big eliminator has about 80-100 gallons in belly tank is the fuel still good and how long it has been there since July/Aug should i pump it out and use it or will it stilll be good in June any body let me know thanks h2oicon

I would pump the fuel out, it will go bad. Every time I store my boat for more than two weeks I pull the fuel out. But I live in Hell and it is usually over 100* and that kills fuel. But the amout of time that you are storing yours the fuel will go bad. Now if it was Av Gas you could leave it in quite a bit long with no wories, I can't remember but something the FAA mandates. If you disconect the line going to the pump that comes in from the belly tank and extend it through the drain plug hole you can get the fuel out fairly safe. remember to do this in a well vented area. I sometimes have had to use about 20lbs of compressed air into the fill to help start the prosses.
