Thanks for all the helpful information guys!
I might try staking out in the office a couple nights that way they would never see me, also the electrical wire thing wouldnt work I dont have a outlet close to where I park the tucks, and if they do know how I run my business they would know that I pull the trucks to the back if they need to be plugged in (Which isnt very often). Im going to be making a run to the local fry's electronics soon too check out some cameras. Location is the biggest problem for me I am located off of a major highway and right down the road from a mexican flea market and right behind a crackhead apartment complex.
A horrible location yes but I cant afford a move right now!!
AfterShock Thanks this. -
Most combat vets don't commit suicide. -
Heres a little story, a couple months ago i had to make a run to a trash company scale It was just a simple calibration so i brought the truck home and parked it in the driveway (AMAZED that it fit) as I take anything valuable out of the locker boxes (can never be too careful) I see the neighborhood hoodlum sitting out all 'gangsta' staking out the truck. Next morning I get up early to warm the truck up see the fuel caps on my ford f250 open and on the semi, I go back inside get my stuff and return outside to see him struggling to get his car started it was popping smoking struggling to stay running, It was hard not to laugh at his stupidity did he really think diesel would run in his car?? his car sat in his driveway untouched for 3 days after that
I have never had fuel siphoned from my house again.

That would seem like a really good idea after news broke last week that nearly 1,000 troops a month have attempted suicide after returning from service in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to internal VA e-mails, even though the department publicly acknowledged only 790 suicide attempts in all of 2007. -

Experts tackle suicide prevention among combat veterans
They survived bombs and bullets on the battlefield. But for a small number of America's war veterans, there is one more lethal obstacle to face after returning home - suicide.
"About 50 times a day we hear from some practitioners that a veteran is thinking about killing themselves," Richard Gibson, manager of the mental health division at Milwaukee's Zablocki VA Medical Center, said Thursday.
Gibson was among the featured local speakers at the hospital in the first Suicide Prevention Awareness Day sponsored by the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Once a taboo subject, suicide has come out into the open as thousands of veterans return from combat in Iraq and Afghanistan. Some of the veterans of conflicts stretching back to World War II bear the mental scars of war, including post-traumatic stress disorder. And, as Gibson noted, some can have suicidal thoughts. -
As some others have said siphon blocks are useless. Youtube is filled with videos on how to overcome siphon blocks. they just use a smaller hose, hook it up to a drill pump and power it with cordless drill. It may decrease the size of the hose they can use to pump, but that little $7 drill pump pumps a pretty good flow of fuel.
Instead of trying to set up spikes to flatten their tires, they may be coming in on foot and just filling up 5 gallon cans, I would put spikes in boards all around the trucks and fuel tanks covered by leave or other material to hide them. That way when they come walking up they get spikes through the foot. That will keep them away for a while. Plus you can have the cops check medical facilities for people seeking treatment and they would be leaving DNA samples behind as well. -

Suicide Hotline for Combat Veterans
Suicide is the 11th most frequent cause of death in the United States, accounting for approximately 30,000 deaths annually. It's estimated that someone dies from suicide every 16 minutes. To ensure that veterans who may be contemplating suicide, and concerned family and friends, have immediate access to a trained person who can help, the Department of Veterans (VA) has established a 24-hour national suicide prevention hotline number: 1-800-273-TALK (8255).
The hotline is based at the Canandaigua VA Medical Center in upstate New York. It's staffed by mental health professionals who know how to assess and respond to crisis situations for veterans at risk of suicide, and incorporates the best practices and research findings in suicide prevention and intervention with the goal of reducing suicides among veterans nationwide.
"This is another significant step to ensure that veterans, particularly the newest generation of combat vets returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, receive accessible and compassionate care for their mental health concerns," Secretary of Veterans Affairs Jim Nicholson said recently.
VA's hotline is part of the National Suicide Prevention Initiativea collaborative effort led by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). The phone number is the same as SAMHSA's National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, a network of local crisis centers located in communities across the Nation that are committed to suicide prevention.
Veterans who have such feelings, or family members who have observed any or all of these behaviors, are welcomed to call 1-800-273-TALKthe only national suicide prevention and intervention telephone resource funded by the federal government. In addition to the national hotline, the Department has established a website, at http://www.mentalhealth.va.gov to provide information on suicide prevention awareness. -

Shocking suicide toll on combat veterans
Britain faces a "ticking timebomb" of mental illness and suicide among young Army veterans who return from hand-to-hand combat in Afghanistan, the Conservatives will warn today.
A lack of mental health care for veterans, combined with the stress of fighting the Taliban, will mean many survivors of the conflict pay a heavy price in psychological problems and self harm, according to David Cameron and the shadow Defence Secretary Liam Fox.
As the bodies of eight soldiers including three teenagers killed in a bloody 24 hours in Helmand were repatriated yesterday, mental health experts joined the politicians in warning that not enough was being done to care for returning members of the armed forces.
