I'm pretty sure that one of my neighbors is coming out at night and siphoning my gas, because I haven't driven enough to account for missing fuel, and there are no leaks in my car.
I don't want to have to stay up all night watching my car so that I can beat some a**, but I definately will if it comes to it. I have to be up early for school, and they don't work. How can I protect my car when it doesn't have a touch alarm?

Okay, I did think of the locking gas tank. And also, I can't park in a garage, and not many people park on the street on my block, so that would be conspicuous. But there is also a way to drain the gas tank without having to siphon typically.
Thanks, I'm not sure yet who I want to pick as the best answer. Though, some of you guys are hilarious. =)

Buy a locking gas cap. A friend of mine had a similar problem with her neighbor. She poured charcoal dust on the street - after wetting down the area around her car so the stuff would stick to their shoes - where the person would stand to siphon her gas. Come morning, there were footsteps leading to the other apartment complex. She took pictures of everything and went to the cops. I haven't heard yet what happened after that.

You could invest in a locking gas cap. Or you could put something in the gas.....lol....you could always get him back by going over one night and siphon his gas or you could put some bleach in his muffler....call the police and complain that your neighbor is stealing your gas.
Get a guard dog for you car.

Park in a garage? If you don't have a garage where you live, try parking in a well-lighted area where someone would not want to be seen siphoning gas (for example, directly under a street light on a busy street).
You can also try parking in different places each night, so your neighbor can't find your car.
