The cost of filling up a gas tank is painful, but now there is something that may sting even more - gas thieves on the rise.
"It’s just unbelievable," says Cynthia Ross of West Philadelphia. "People go to any length to take from you, to harm you. They don’t care about your car, the money you have to put out to get it fixed and everybody is having a hard time, as it is."Police in Allentown, Pa. say they’re investigating a case.
"It’s a hard time right now," Tom Collins, of Blackwood, N.J., commented. "Having to worry about expensive gas — that’s one thing. But, if somebody drills into your tank to steal your gas? How many people have the money to pay to have a tank repaired?"
