Dont seem to hear of it much anymore,I’m sure it must still be happening what with the price of the stuff,or have we just become so used to it we just ignore it.I usually overnight in laybys off the beaten track if possible and touch wood not had any stolen for years,shouldn’t have said that,that is tempting fate 
had the ■■■■■■ call last week, touting for tree cutting work , got rid but next morning fuel cap off the truck (found in the hedge) but fuel ok had a filler neck anti syphon filter fitted, one was found around the back of a neighbour who is a proper tree surgeon, made the excuse he was trying to buy or borrow a climbing rope as his had broken,
Wasteland near nisa at scunthorpe last week and on a1 near colsterworth within last 3 months
Will be none this weekend ,unless you are near appleby 
Trying to get banned are you Seth. 
1 of ours got emptied at wetherby services last monday night, no damage to cap or tank and amazingly nobody else in the truck park had reported fuel theft that night so guess what the boss thinks
You really should mention these thefts on here it might just save someone else some grief.
Driver at our place got done at tilbury 2 weeks ago, but saying that he does choose to park in stupid places… 
he won’t be seeing his £500 bonus this Xmas
Can a simple audible warning to the cab not be fitted that goes off if the cap is removed with the doors locked? Alarm goes off, look in mirror, ■■■■■■ about - start up and drive off

Surely being “robbed” takes priority!? You ring the police control room after get a crime number in case you get pulled, job done i would have thought?

Not gone off since fitted, has flashing led on tank and strobe that flashes every 30 secs or so when armed.
