So Monday I go to leave for work and make it like 100 feet up the road and smell gasoline. I turn around and get home and look and I'm spilling gas from my tank.

I call the cops they decided just fill out the form online. I get towed to my dealership and call insurance not knowing what to do. I was pissed and beat down. I paid my deductible and got her fixed right. Put up a 24/7 recording camera not motion only they didn't trip and record. The dealership to my amazement got it on Monday insurance guy approved it on Tuesday and had a new gas tank installed on wendsday.
Very sorry to hear that happened.
I hate criminals.
Agree w/ you 100% and sadly it seems more effort goes into protecting them than punishing them.

That is convincing the to get fuel tank shield to prevent from idiots drilling a hole on the fuel tank. I have locking fuel cap.

That's ridiculous, all that damage and effort for just a few bucks worth of fuel. Sorry that happened to you, something similar happened to my brother's Miata when he was towing it cross-country.

To Me, it seems the hole is in a strange place to get a container under - with that corner there.... Maybe someone was screwing with you ??
