I had left my 240 over the last 3 days across my house in northern NJ facing uphills due to lack of parking and this morning I found out that someone had stolen about 4-5 gallons from my gas tank. I usually do not keep the car more that 1/3 to 1/4 full since I drive very infrequently. In addition the idiots who stole the gas also dumped the gas cap in the nearby rain water drain(probably by mistake since the car was parked right next to the drain) and I now have to use a piece of rag to close the hole. I really got more pissed about loosing the gas cap.

My cousin last summer had his Ford Explorer drained twice by gas thieves(thats about $80 worth of gas. It is going to get REALLY bad this summer with the current GAS price situation. It seems we have to face the new reality.

Where can I get a locking gas cap!!!!! Do you have any recommendations? I am looking something of a good quality (chrome preferably).

Thank god I now take the bus to work(NYC).....

Thanks

Mike
