My Diesel was STOLEN!

[@thomasgarwell8214]

The scroates of this country really gets up my nostrils. You have a job that gets goods to people who rely upon you. I really feel for you. I had my caravan stolen a couple of years ago, it was only 4 years old. It was caught on cctv being towed by a white van with a black BMW registration plates. Where are the NPR cameras when you need them. The police weren't a bit interested. It was the last straw that broke the camel's back for me and my hubby, and our hearts went out of caravanning after that.

[@andrewproctor6031]

Sorry to hear about your caravan, my mum had hers stolen off of the drive when no one was in, they threatened the 90 year old neighbour with a crowbar when he came out to see what was happening. I hope whoever did it and their family has a miserable life plagued with illness quite frankly, they deserve nothing better, actual parasites.

Worst feeling in the world. A few years ago I was working on a building site in Essex. There was no onsite parking all the trades had to park on a side street. I came out to my van to find several grands worth of power tools, the full tank of diesel, my wallet and £400 in cash which was hidden (not well enough it turns out) behind my seat all gone. I had no money to get fuel or back over the Dartford crossing. Not a great day. I never went back to that site.

[@hazaeagle1]

You would think by now there would be better security mechanisms on fuel caps on large vehicles. Such as a loud alarm which triggers if the wrong key or a screwdriver is inserted. Never the less these things happen to the best of us. The cockroaches that stole your fuel are probably living downtrodden lives, lets feel sorry for them. Your spirit and personality and how you make others feel is way more important. Never break and just carry on. You're awesome!

[@Steve-bo6ht]

I can remember being out with my father when in his truck this is going back about ten years ago, and he'd gone through a spell of the bastards pumping his fuel out Scott and he started to use a rachet strap around his tanks and over his locking cap just something to make a noise to alert him in the cab and make it more work for the scum bags. Not sure if you can do something like this today what with VOSA they would probably look at something around the tank as an infringement, best of luck for the future and really hope this doesn't happen again in the future.

The good news is fuel was taken and they didn't target you, so good you're safe.

But even at services I still wake up through the night thinking noises are on my truck which end up being a couple trucks away.

Some of the best times I've had at work have been truck driving, but also some of the most miserable times, it doesn't seem to matter where you park, there is a risk of your diesel or load being nicked.

Did your fuel level gauge come back to life and show the correct amount of fuel in the tank? Was thinking that when they syphoned the diesel out they could have damaged the fuel sender, knocked the float off in the tank.
