Auto owners beware. Thefts are on the rise. And it’s not your car you need to be worried about, it’s your gas. Police are announcing an increase in gas tank tapping, in which criminals drill into or pierce gas tanks to siphon the pricey petroleum out. Trucks, SUVs and plastic gas tanks are the highest at risk because of easy access. It's not just cars that are being affected. Restaurants in California and Kansas are also reporting stolen cooking oil worth thousands of dollars.
