Another problem with thieves

This time to my truck. I went out this morning and found my gas door open and my gas cap off and hanging. There was no gas missing (I had just filled my tank) and the truck seemed to run fine. (I have a warning light/beep that goes off in the car if I try to drive with the door or cap open, so I couldn’t have done it myself.)

I’m not sure what I’m going to do yet, short of patrolling my backyard with a lead pipe. I’m thinking a new fence is in order; on that goes around the parking area with a motorized gate. Now I have to figure out how to afford that.

UPDATE: I think I’m going to go with a much cheaper, high-tech option… wireless motion detectors that turn on a spotlight and set off a chime inside the house. What’s cool is that you can also get them to set off an alarm, or set off a sprinkler. Heh.
