    Well, this sucks. I had stopped at the last area on 287 in Texas, about an hour from Amarillo coming from DFW. Someone had siphoned off some of my truck fuel. They were at least nice enough to leave two fifty dollars bills in envelope taped to my window with an apologly note, but ran dry on fuel just before I could turn into the truck stop to get a little fuel. Now, have to wait on a road call.

    I'm going to now. First time I had this happen to me and going to be the last.

    Lucky for me, I had a friend in Amarillo visting family, so, I have him the money to bring me 30 gallons to get the motor primed and running. Total down time was an hour. Best of all, saved myself a road call.

    You would think it would be less of a problem with these crazy low fuel prices.

    Be more of a problem as everyone has tanks full of low cost diesel.

    No matter how cheap can't beat a five finger discount.

    True. It could be free for everyone in the first place and someone would rather steal yours.

    Put cameras on your truck including the mirrors so these thieves can be identified.

    I've been looking into that over the past month. Looking at getting the Falcon Eye system. I was looking at Blue Tiger camera (love their headset), but the rep was talking to at the Terrell, TX was honest enough to tell me that the night mode on their camera still sucks and the out side camera was held the resolution of the main camera.
