The Daily News reports that area automotive stores have reported selling more lockable gas caps following "scattered cases of siphoning." At least one auto store owner tells the paper the people who are being targeted have SUVs or other large vehicles--cars with at least 25 gallon tanks. "At $4 a gallon, a 25-gallon tank is equivalent to $100." The paper also reports that there are tons of instructional gas-stealing YouTube videos out there. [Daily News]
