This was a big problem back in the 70s during the gas crisis of 73 and then again in 79-80. So much so that alot of people started using locking gas caps and automakers started making access to the gas cap more difficult.

like Cheech and Chong's siphoning gas out of the tow truck in "Cheech and Chong's Next Movie"? :)

no, but it's happened to my gf.....holy sh!t were we pissed when we left a club, got into our car and had barely enough gas to get to the gas station. I think a fatal beating is in order for people who steal gas...especially now with gas prices skyrocketing.

It's difficult and I'm lazy, so no.

Siphoning is the easiest thing (I have to do it regularly at work). Use a clear hose (so you don't get a faceful of nasty fish water) and suck on the hose (or your fist over the end of the hose) such that the level of water in the hose is below the level of water in the tank....gravity does the rest.

First thing that came to mind was the Peacocks from the X-Files episode "Home"
