    "PSP describes the vehicles as “red truck tractor with a sleeper cab and a blue truck tractor with a sleeper cab.” Both vehicles were hauling a white box trailer."

    Well that narrows it down...

    Dang. I used to park at that place all the time and walk to Iguana Joe's or to Waffle House. Good eats 'round there.

    I think it would be pretty easy to steal fuel at most parking places. I know where I currently park I tend to try and leave my truck low on fuel to mitigate the cost of replacement fuel.

    would love to actually catch someone stealing it.

    Add my backyard to the list. In November, I filled the left (50 gal) tank on my MDT, then drove it to the leaf point and back home (6 miles). I went out to start it last week and saw the gauge reading 1/8. Its notorious for being wrong, so I hopped out and looked in the tank... it was spot on.

    I guess someone else needed those 30 gallons of diesel more than I did. Time for some cameras back there.

    Had my fuel stolen on McCarty in Houston when Obama was president.

    Probably was the guys cooking the bbq.

    I didn't care I just put more in on the company card and got more pilot points. Hey...they recommended the stop.
