Not Funny and @#$% UP !

Get a cargo van to carry your stuff in. You can lock the ski, gas, tools etc up and not have to worry about it. Except someone might steal the whole car.

I hope there was no security cams in the parking garage ;-)

To add another twist to this I have seen guys get stranded and "borrow" fuel to get home, and then bring back the container topped off with regular. The average Joe on the street knows nothing of octane or different fuels, nor the different containers that they come in.

I had a guy a few years ago come into my yard and "borrow" 5 gallons of fuel to get himself back to town. Unfortunately for him, and his Honda rental car, that he borrowed 5 gallons of diesel fuel, (from a yellow container even). The funny thing was, on my way home, I had passed the vehicle broke down on the side of the road about 5 miles from my house. When I got home I found a $20 bill and a thank you note on my spare can and put 2 and 2 together. Whatcha gonna do? That's the most expensive fuel, and hopefully the last fuel he ever borrows again. Now what if he had felt guilty and had gone to town and refilled the jug with regular fuel? what would that have done to my Cummins?

Now, that's completely moronic, to mistake diesel for gas.

Pete, sorry to hear about this incident, I don't even know what to think of it.
Was the stuff at least conveniently premixed for you? J/K

actually, you may have a point. there may be cams in there.

Pete, I can check for you if you'd like. was the can in the garage or the gravel lot. there may be cams for both.

the fuel was in a vp c-12 15gal metal drum,I pumped c-14 out of a 55gal drum,their is not a hint of pump gas around my shop other than whats in the truck i drive to work.even the lawnmowers and snowblowers run race fuel.I didnt get a chance to pump more fuel out today but i got a motor comming in tomorrow im gonna run it in.I assure you it was c-14 from the time i loaded in in yamacrazed's trailor to the time it switched hands down their.

This is about money and the cost of race fuel. Your gas was stolen by a rider who brought cans of gas to steal and swap.

Had they stolen the whole thing, you would have spent the ride looking for guys with cans of kickass race gas. Instead, the way they did it, you ruin your engine and only figure out how after you get home. Or better yet weeks later.

They knew how much gas you had, and how much they needed to swap. They brought six cans, three full and left with six cans, three full. Your thief was at your ride. He may have used it there, it's hard to say.

They were probably parked right next to you all night for ease of transfer.

That's how I would have done it.

to think about it your probly right.Everyone new Pete was looking for race gas when he posted looking where to get it was obvious that he had it all they needed to do was ID what truck was his.Sucks it happens its gonna be a pain in the A$$ to take more fuel down to pete just for him to test so I can get him what he wants for next year.

hmmm...interesting!

That glass of gas looks like beer! It made me crack a Pacifico.

...sorry this happened, Pete!

 

[Philip Clemmons]

WOW!
Sorry to hear that.

I'd love to know the codes that come out of the wifes ride..............

Gimme a shout Tuesday AM............

 

[chrisdoc0608]

where did you park? i had two cans of 110 and 2 of 93 in the back of my truck all weekend along with tools and parts and nothing was touched.... its sad that an event with a "close" community would have something this low happen

 

[masterblaster]

that really sucks,I just cant see someone going through all that for 15 gallons of race fuel,no one that runs a high dollar motor that needs it is so broke. They could afford fuel for it.
you guys make it out to sound like mad max or something where the shiz is gold,lol

I wander how many people there were actually running race gas. definitely not the norm. the whole thing is perplexing.

:haha: I recognize that nipple......ROFL.......
Hey Pete,
That is complete :bsflag: to think that someone would do something such as that is just ridiculous! In cleveland we had a lifejacket go missing (brand new) and a full tank of regular gas taken from the bushes.....just pisses you off! Some theives will do whatever it takes to get what others have!

I would really appreciate that, if you have a contact to see if there is cameras..

as you came into the parking garage. I was the first spot to the right when you came in. It had like an "L" wall that I backed up too so it blocked the ski.

I personally believe that it was a rider... any other theif would never fill it back up with crap gas..
I should stop beating a dead horse... but brian if you can check that would be great.

 

[hangtime]

I hate thieves :bsflag:

 

[SuziQ]

LOL, Madam Catz…I think evb must flash their nips at you dang it!

Don’t worry about beating a dead horse Mr. Pancaker, you’re kinda cute when you get all riled up imo…(and makes me feel like I’m not some paranoid chick when I get all severely riled up thinking somebody has jacked with my stuff either)…so get ‘em good!! This is better than my unfolding detective story was…I can’t wait to read it when I get back!! For Pete’s sake (lol, I meant the Saint of course)…somebody at least buy this nice man some more race fuel, and if you find out something really bad went down, I’ll charter a private jet and fly where ya need the job done, lol!!! :Banane36:

Gotta finishing packing now though! :noevil:
