Your money or your gas. No wait. Your money or your car.

I know they're saying that high gas prices are leading to more gas theft on the part of criminals, but how about someone taking a whole car and holding it for ransom?

Speaking of gas theft, a special meanie award should go to the people who took gas from trucks opearated by the Second Harvest Food Bank of Santa Clara County. Locking gas caps will deter some theives, but now I'm hearing that some of the theives are simply cutting the fuel lines or punching holes in the tanks from beneath. And Many of the hapless desperados end up losing more gas than they gain when they turn out to be less than adept at siphoning.

Quote Of The Moment
Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification, but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.
