According to PhillyBurbs auto parts suppliers are rapidly selling out of locking gas caps, which were originally invented in the 1930s because of gas siphoning thefts during the Great Depression.
According to the article, "I've never seen anything like this before. These things were collecting dust," said Brian Drake, who works at Bridgeville Auto Parts. "We can't even get them from suppliers. We've placed a couple orders. We're still waiting for them."
Drivers are reporting their gas tanks have been siphoned, or that they want to prevent potential siphoning due to ever-rising gas prices. Some stores are having difficulty getting more units in stock.
