WARNING: diesel thieves...

Not sure if it is a problem in France, but in the UK there is a dramatic increase in cases of theft of diesel from cars & commercial vehicles. 

The thieves are achieving it by many different means: Breaking into the locked caps and attempting to syphon (many new'ish cars have anti-syphoning devices fitted); cutting through pipes under the car and draining the fuel; and in at least one case, drilling holes in the bottom of the fuel tank to drain the diesel.

Forewarned is forearmed - so think about where you leave your diesel vehicles - especially in the dear old UK!!

There was a French news report about this a couple of weeks ago.  It's mainly lorries that are being targeted here, as the large volume of diesel makes syphoning so much more worthwhile.
