A few years back I had my gas tank stolen from my skiff. Worse than losing the gas was losing the tank.
I suggest putting a 'decoy' tank full of nasty goop in your skiff for the scumbags to steal. Something that will ruin their fuel system when they pour it into their car.
Just make sure to mark it and put an incompatible connector on it so you don't accidentally try to hook it up to your outboard.
Latitude - you are devious!
It's one of the things I like about you. :) I hear Sugar works, how much would you have to put in 2 gallons to do the job?
