Look up under there for the vent hoses and see if they got snipped as well.

 Also there was a similar incident here a while back that was caught on a
security camera (not on a vanagon but a chevy or ford commercial) the camera
caught the duo ripping off the gas cap to siphon.  Couldn�t siphon so went
under and cut the filler hose or fuel line.  Couldn�t tell which and they
didn�t say which it was.
