Do you think that if gas prices continue to rise even more that we might see an increase in gasoline theft from other people's vehicles?

That happened in the energy crisis days of the 1970's.
Different times today.
Do you see long gas lines anywhere?
When you do, then that will come back with it.
You must add in timing with this new gasoline spiking going on.
Once you waste time just filling up, then it's a whole new ball game.

Gas theft will always be around regardless of prices at the pumps. Spend a few dollars and invest in a locking gas cap. It's that easy.

I think that as gas prices go up, theft of gas from vehicles, boats, gas stations, etc will increase. It's a universal truth that the more scarce a commodity is, the more prone to theft it is.
However, as gas theft starts to go up, so will gas "sharing" through new services like http://www.ridester.com
