Let's see, that would put 5 or 10 gallons into the thief's vehicle and 28 or 33 gallons on the ground. If they are going to steal your fuel they don't care what shape they leave your truck in. Anything from a bent up locking billet fuel door to a mess that YOU have to clean up on the ground along with having to repair or replace your fuel tank. They got what they wanted.
It's like a story I read 11 years ago. The thief wanted a dodge diesel pickup so instead of stealing one and driving it he stole one off a dealers lot took it out into the boonies and tore out the drive train. Then he put it into his own truck. The only way that they caught him was after he sold his truck and the new owner took it in for service. The dealer checked the engine serial number, traced it back to the stolen truck, and then called the cops.
