She and I both always screw in the caps 3 clicks or 4 just a matter of practice. Since her rig sits under the carport someone would be somewhat hidden from view if they were to syphon some gas. The other rigs are outside in plain view with a streetlight on two corners of our property. I suppose someone attempted to steal some but couldn't get the hose down the neck far enough to get any.
I just put up some new motion sensor lights while re-siding the shop and the sensor is turned up a notch. Maybe it's enough to shew off the nighttime shoppers.
I had the same with my Jaguar. I put 3/4 of a tank in it and now it registers 1/4 tank. But my gas gauge may be screwy because then it said 1/2 a tank. But it was at 1/4 again the last drive. It was parked in front of the strange footsteps house (no room in the garage it's full of moving junk). Who knows? Maybe the strange footsteps needed some gas? It might just be the gauge. At least it's in the shop now and they pull it in at night. I told them to take their time. I'd rather have it there than at my mess. That fence can't come fast enough. But it's raining again today.
