happen to him, TWICE, when parked on a public parking lot, in a city where
he did not live. The two incidents were a year apart. the second time, after
figuring out what had happened (had to drop the tank, flush everything, and
was lucky at that that it was water, not sugar), he reported the incident to
authorities, who told him it was common in that locality. Seems that local
juvenile gangs used doing that as a part of an "initiation ritual" in which
the perpetrators were proving that they would commit a crime. Locking gas
cap is just a simple, wise, protection against such.
