Driven to crime-Road Warrior imminent?
This is via Commute by bike
While this is funny, it still makes me wonder if people are going to start siphoning gas like they did in the 1970’s. While then there was a gas shortage, and everyone needed to buy locking gas caps. In my car I need to pull a lever to open the door to access the gas cap, but if people are desperate enough to start siphoning gas, levering a tiny door would not be unthinkable. Do I need to get a locking gas cap again? Am I paranoid? As I stated the other day via Twitter:
I know I am not the only one who has had to totally adjust the budget to take into account the high gas prices. Unfortunately Katie does not work close enough to either job and has equipment to haul so she must drive. Luckily I am able to offset that with the bike and bus. Something needs to be done about this, or it will turn into a Mad Max type of society. I am getting to old for the Thunderdome.
I think I will leave my car parked as much as I can, ride my bike more, and watch out for bikejackers.
