DenverDonJuan Champion Author Denver Posts:33,177 Points:2,657,395 Joined:Oct 2005	Message Posted: Jan 26, 2006 3:53:23 AM Ignore DenverDonJuan Report Abuse Yes. Usually several times a year. Tis one of the reasons why I now like cars that I buy to have a gas flap lock system on them. They are not infallable but seem to reduce the frequency of theft a lot. However, if someone wants gas bad enough, they will even pry locking flaps open.
