Has anyone really ever had someone punch a hole in their fuel tank just to steal fuel or is this an old wives tale? We've all heard of it but has anyone really experienced it first hand?
It wasn't an RV, but a car. Back in 1972 I was stationed at Ft Bragg, NC and had my car in my garage one day. Got home that night to a strong smell of gasoline. Someone had broken into my garage and punched a hole in the car's gas tank. when their container was full the rest of the tank simply drained onto the garage floor - a mess to clean up and even though gas was only about $0.25 a gallon back then when you're only making $350 a month it hurts - not to mention having to get a new tank for the car...
