Now that gasoline is more expensive than gold, is anyone surprised that siphoning is making a comeback of 1974 proportions?
Rhodamine reports on the Prospect Heights Message Boards that his old Volvo was “running on vapors” after only two trips to Williamsburg (fie, you hipster!) and moving once for alternate side parking:
“So, I figured that either(1) anti-gasoline black matter exists in Williamsburg, or (2) someone in PH has been syphoning off my gas.”
“My fears were verified when I went to the AutoZone on Atlantic and picked up a $12 locking gas cap and the clerk asked me ‘Having problems with someone stealing your gas, too? I must have sold a hundred of those this week’…”
In a time-honored tradition, Daily Heights is offering $25 for a photo of the Prospect Heights Gas Siphoner in flagrante delicto. Camphones at the ready!
