How then, do we move backwards? How does a society, with most of the people having no clue of future events, move from being dependent on a vast and intertwined network of goods and services produced by the indigenous people of whereever, to a local resource and renewable energy based society, and do so in the timeframe available (20-30 years using the most liberal extimates, 10-20 with resonable estimates, 5-10 with worst case scenarios), all the while prices on everything increasing, world politics getting more militaristic, governments continuously reducing civil liberties, shortages of goods on the market and weather patterns resembling bad Hollywood movies?

We all at one time or another have had fuel stolen from our auto's but my lastest theft of gas from my Ddoge Dakota happen at a place I did not expect would happen,, I left my truck at a local Dodge dealer for some work and filled up tank before taking to dealer and the next day when work was finished I got in to leave after paying $750.00 for repairs I notice the gas tank was at 1/4,, no there was not repairs in the gas tank area at all just some employee at dealership filled there auto with my gas,, now it seems as if its not safe at the repair shop either,,, they even have security at night and gates are locked down and cameras every where so it had to be from somone working at dealer,, it's starting to look as if we need to watch our black gold that we carry around a lot more closer...

Locking gas cap.

Repair work also often requires a test drive. Especially things like front-end alignments and just about anything to do with the transmission. Probably not 3/4 of a tank though... _________________ The whole of human history is a refutation by experiment of the concept of "moral world order". - Friedrich Nietzsche

There was a test drive and odometer shows about 8 miles driven but that does not use even a 1/8 of a tank let alone a 3/4 tank,, I thought about talking to the service writer about this but thought it might just fall on deaf ears,, I know gas theft happens any where but thought the car dealer was at least a safer place,, but it looks as if as gas gets higher even your brother or sister might even steal your gas,, I guess its time to start thinking about making our gas tanks like fort knox,, I know next time there will only be 1/4 tank of gas in tank next time I visit the dealer for repairs..

I would say don't bother with the locking gas cap, the news lately has these thugs just puncturing the tank and taking the gas that way. If they really want it, they will get it however they have to. Just my opinion.
