| So what can you put in the furnace oil to screw up the use of the stolen fuel? Perhaps a setup tank with significant gasoline mixed, perhaps blow up their furnace? |

I drain my petrol from the tank each night and bring it inside with me where it is safe.
It means I have to leave my Flatscreen TV and DVD player outside to make room... But no one seems interested in these inexpensive items _________________ For your own saftey.... Never pat a burning cat |

For fixed tanks, why not try a covering of razor wire with bells? _________________ Volatility. When life isn't exciting enough. |

Hmm. Well maybe he should just take his licks then eh? Cost wise hes better off losing 1400.00 than building a indoor garage for 15 Kenworths. What a mess. |
