Not sure of their sleeping habits, but most households probably have guns. I 
hear people taking target practice every weekend as I enjoy my coffee on the 
back porch. Many also have dogs. Big ones.

I saw a sobering video once. Guy runs out in his underwear holding a 
pistol.

Burglars were 3 man team. Driver, ransacker, and armed overwatch.
Overwatch had an AR-15 and was shooting at the homeowner from 
concealment.

Not good when you're standing in the open holding a handgun.

I couldn't find that video just now, but there's this:

I am guessing that in my neighborhood, if someone "checked the door" on a house

There's a rash of door lock checkers for homes and cars at around 2:30 AM

Re: [MBZ] Diesel Travel

In the other neighborhood we lived in there would be occasional incidents with 
young urban men who would walk down the street, trying car doors to see if they 
were locked, and if not, rummage through the vehicle looking for anything of 
value.

I would see then on my security cameras, they were pretty bold.

When I had a 400E it would trip the alarm if it was locked and you pulled on 
the passenger door handle. Sure enough, they set it off one night.

I watched the playback on the security camera, as it was pretty entertaining 
watching them scatter.

Stealing gas is about the lowest kind of theft.

We've only had one minor car theft in the 16 years we've lived here, somebody 
stole the change out of my '85 190D (MB content). It's interesting when you 
consider that the people across the street from me are total scumbags. 
Apparently the know enough not to try that around here.

The barn on the vast northern estate has many forms of entry, the 2 garage door 
openings on the end are covered with a kind of industrial belting, it's 
basically thick cloth nailed to the wall with a 2x6 across the bottom. I left 
my Super M in there last winter along with a lawnmower and power washer and a 2 
gallon can of gas. All of it was undisturbed this spring. We have excellent

Not lately.
They got my dad's S-10 during Desert Storm.
Pissed him off, they not only siphoned it, they stole or threw away his 
gas cap.
He replaced it, and the cap on mom's Ciera, with a locking cap.

Also during the Desert Storm pricing, saw a drive off theft at a Checker 
station.
Asshat parked an old beater truck at the farthest pump and filled it 
with Premium.
When the clerk saw him park there she was on high alert.
When he started pumping premium she wrote down his plate number.
Called the cops as he was driving off.

By the turn of the century, everybody had gone to prepay only.
Now nobody drives off without paying because nobody pumps without 

paying.

Re: [MBZ] Diesel Travel

[G Mann via Mercedes]

In today's instant satisfaction world, the fine art of stealing gas by
siphon has become a lost art. The preferred method now is to jam a
sharpened #3 phillips screwdriver into the bottom of your tank and shove a
bucket under it. when the bucket gets full, they grab the bucket and
screwdriver and simply leave the rest of the tank to drain out on the
ground.
Apparently EPA and Hazmat rules do not apply to gas thief operations.
The stick and drain method defeats the fill hose restrictions and, wtf
they don't care if your gas pours out.

Pissed him off, they not only siphoned it, they stole or threw away his

He replaced it, and the cap on mom's Ciera, with a locking cap.

There was a huge surge in road bike sales in 1974.
My 1974 Maino probably would have never left Italy if it wasn't for the 
USA gas crisis. I only saw one other Maino in person, ever. It was also 
mid-70s vintage, chained to a bike rack at U of M.


One of my friends at MSU had his dad's hand-me-down Raleigh 
Professional. Full Campagnolo Record groupo, the most expensive bike 
parts in the world. His dad bought it to ride to work in the gas crisis 
and hadn't touched it since. I can imagine him walking into a bike 
store, asking for the best they had, and leaving with that thing for 
about the same money my dad paid for a new 500cc Suzuki.


My Maino was ridden hard for years before I got it. Probably 30,000 
miles, plus the thousands I rode it in the 1980s. The only original 
Campagnolo parts left on it were the hubs. I replaced the rear axle and 
put over 25,000 more miles on those hubs, laced new rims on them a 
couple of times.


People bitched about 50 cent gas when Nixon and Ford were Presidents, 
but it was the gas lines and even/odd rationing that had the biggest 
effect.


If somebody's making payments and buying insurance on their $80k 
brodozer, it doesn't greatly matter whether they get 12mpg on $3 gas or 
$10 gas. They'll bitch about it but they'll still buy it if it's 
available.

Re: [MBZ] Diesel Travel

Some expert somewhere is predicting fuel prices will be double their 
current price within a year.  You would think the demand would already 
be down since nobody wants to work and they are just sitting at home.  I 
can't figure out how they are paying their bills though.

Our neighbor went camping on the cape yesterday, he said there wasn't a lot of 
traffic coming home. Until demand goes down substantially prices aren't going 
to follow.

That said I think if prices go any higher people will stop driving and demand 
will fall. I think the idea of $10 gas is ludicrous.

Not that I’m aware of. I’ve never seen anything but the regular fuels, but it’s 
possible that it’s offered at places I haven’t visited. We are at 7,000’, so 
there is a hit you take for mildly reduced performance. I think most modern 
cars deal with it without an issue.
