Thief drilled a hole in my gas tank (2 Viewers)

[TLCStonks]

Was parked in my apartment's parking garage but it's not secure whatsoever and located right off the street. Previously had a CAT cut halfway out before they got spotted and ran away, hopefully ya'll don't have my luck.

Wow!

Any idea if your insurance will cover its replacement?

 

[RKRUGER]

Should be covered under “vandalism “.

Yeah the picture really does make it look like that but it's solid metal, has some metal poking out from the drill bit and also I improvised with some paper towels when I got to the gas station and noticed it.

Got Dam that is a new level of desperation and scum-baggery. Sorry that happened bro

 

[Trapper50cal]

So weird, it's almost like a punitive "up yours" for having their cat heist thwarted...
Man, this sort of stuff really grinds my gears...

 

[ScotyDosentKnow]

That really sucks. Thousands of dollars of damage for what? $60 in gas?? Id file a claim and use this opportunity to upgrade to a LRA tank if you can.......and move maybe lol

Jesus Christ bro the s*** people are doing these days. Sorry to see this.

Shoot, makes me think I aught to get cat protection and a more robust fuel tank skid plate since I have to park mine on the street too.

I'm actually in Austin in the 78704 but the cat attempt was in Lake Highlands Dallas around this time last year. That time was mid morning at a grocery store lol.

I'm still not sure what all we can do about the catalytic converter but I wouldn't worry about gas that was just a one off crackhead I feel like. It's just because we have 2 cats and easy access. When I had it welded back on the muffler shop said they had seen so many Toyotas recently.
