Petrol theft
Turbo Mini Forums

Anybody else suffered from this? My wifes Mini has been hit 3 times in as many months. This time the wankers completely buggered the filling point where the cap seals. As usual the Police have taken very little interest other than issuing a crime number. Any ideas on prevention or deterants? Please see my post in the wanted section for a new fuel tank.

block the fuel line, and fill the tank with petrol with loads of sugar in it. Then leave the car for them to nick it all, so whatever they put it in fucks their engine up!

do it with sand, sugar will dissolve. muhahahahaha tossers.

but in all seriousness if you still need to drive the car your best bet i would say you could make some sort of anti-syphon(sp) device to stick in the filler neck.

bastards
garage it, or maybe leave very little fuel in the car that way they get the message but it will cost you mass in fuel tanks set a camera up nearby coupled to the pc there not expensive now a days show that to the law

What BENROSS said, Garage:)
Best thing i've ever done was get a Garage near me. as the little fckers kept stealing stuff of my car.
for a tenner a week it's well worth it.
contact your local council about renting a garage near to where you live.
I didn't think i could rent a garage of the council. till some guy come up to me saying he saw some kids stealing my centre caps, yet again. and told me i should rent a garage of the council, as he doe's him self. keeps his bike in there.
Has steal doors, and great locks.
which i got my self. feel less paro now :)
Just a thought..

Cheers.

Warning:Stig in Training

I left my boot open with a can of fuel in it. Added a bit of fairy liquid and syrup. Stirred to dissolve the whole lot.....

It went missing. If you've tried it, sugar isn't very soluble in petrol. You need to keep it there otherwise it will just make an aqueous phase at the bottom of the tank.

Failing that, on a dry night, plug the car into the mains. Rubber tyres should insulate it! neutral earth and live the car. Failing that a 3 phase tig inverter.

Bugger off, I'm getting there.
