I own a Jeep Gladiator. If this happened to me? A new gas tank is $520. I can do the replacement and install my self. $4000 is a crime if someone paid that to replace a gas tank. Even if someone else installed it. Most shops will also overcharge the insurance company.

Okay, that's terrible, but why does this woman need to drive a truck when she's a nurse? I swear 80% of truck buyers do not use their truck to actually haul things.
The thieves specifically targeted her truck in a parking lot full of other vehicles because it's lifted higher and easy to get under. I'm just saying if she drove a normal car as a daily, this likely wouldn't have happened.

Happened to my Aunt in Orange county Calif about 20 years ago. Idiots been around forever smh🤦♂️
Yuck, people scare me now n days..🤢 🙄
Alarms don’t work. Everybody ignores them.
Someone stole my whole side view mirror while I was working. People are getting so desperate
One hole for gas, one hole for air.
This is from the Hooker Training Manuel, page 6, paragraph 9, if I recall.
Poor woman...Victimized 4x...Guy who stole gas CRIMINAL, Repair shop charging $4k CRIMINAL, .Insurance company agreeing to fix for 1K deductible and then jacking up her rate for 7 years CRIMINAL, police advice to keep in garage and then say well lit area contradicted himself and offered no HELP..
The greed is killing our society.
The biggest thief's are the mechanics charging her so much? 🤑
Real talk 👍
$5 fix with some plastic sealant.
those holes can be patched in ten minutes for a few bucks with the repair epoxy for fuel tanks they sell at auto parts stores .
They also stealing Tesla batteirs which cost $60,000 to replace.
What, do they just slide out on a tray?
@@SlickArmor Tesla used to have battery swap that took 3 minutes, quicker than gasoline fill ups. It wasn't free (cost equivalent to 30 mpg gas car), so ppl only charged at home instead and Tesla no longer offer battery swap due to non use.
@yootoobvyooer Interesting. I notice there are a couple of guys putting other cars on tesla chassis and tesla drive trains in other cars. I imagine there could be a market for battery packs. Maybe even for a home solar setup.
One thing that would help is to hire more police. We need more eyes watching.
Biggest crime here is $4000 to plug her gas tank. WTF
Normal day in California
I’m so sick of people
Just patch the gas tank!
sounds like the ex-husband isn't happy, the two holes are to let air in so that the gas drains out of the tank faster
I won't name the brand, but the leading two-part epoxy brand would seal that right up.
$4000 to replace a gas tank?!?! You got to be kiddin' me.
Car insurance suck! We have to have it but when we need to use it we get charged for it. Someone hit my car while parked and they told me my insurance will go up for getting my car fixed like what?!?!
Any and all crimes have no real punishment so until our government actually keeps them in jail for 5 years not a day shy,2nd offense,10 yrs
Don’t Park in Rancho Cucamonga and you will be safe 💯
YA, park in Beverly Hills and hitch to work.
Stay armed and vigilant. Don't be a victim, fight back!
It will be a party when Governor newsom is gone
@@imd1b4u If you haven't been listening to his policies I can't help you .
Welcome to California
My cars always on E . There gonna be very disappointed.
Stolen gas $40. dollars. Fix gas tank on truck $4,000. dollars. Free lead donated by the victim to the thief, PRICELESS.
too many mexicans in the area
Too many Kamala Harris supporters.
I used to live in RC, down the street from that hospital, it is rare to see stuff like that happen.
This video had a lot of lip service.
I had my car fog lights stolen while working my 3pm-12 midnight shift at the hospital lab years ago. I was parked in the hospital parking lot, and security had the audacity to question my claims. Then I showed them the cut wires and bolt on the ground as proof. Bad luck for this young lady but she should be okay in spite of the outrage. Thief will eventually be caught or be given street justice.
What's the insurance company's excuse to raise her premiums?
Anybody who uses that method to steal gas is on a suicide mission
A good buddy of mine bought a Chevy Colorado pickup truck back in May
One night when he was at work , My buddy and his coworkers heard an explosion out in the parking lot and they went outside to check it out and somebody was trying to steal gas from his truck by drilling into the gas tank ,
Sparks created from the cordless drill set off the explosion and blew up his truck and the guy drilling into the gas tank burned to death , My dad worked for Gulf oil and taught me about the dangers of gasoline and that even the tiniest spark can cause a massive explosion
looks like she's about to pay another grand for a new set of tires, those things are almost as bald as Kojak
Smelled gasoline but thought it was a diesel truck 🤣🤣🤣
Smelled gas and thought it was from a nearby diesel?
That’s been going on! Especially at boat ramps when people go boating, fishing, swimming etc…😡
4000 for a new one, that's the true crime
I dunno but that sounds dangerous…it would be a shame if it exploded or something bad happened when they are doing that….
Peoples Behaviour has hit rock bottom
"Mexican Americans don't like to get up early in the morning
But they have to so they do it real slow"
She's right and has a point!
gavin newsom's California!
And he lives in your head, rent-free! Nyahahahaha!!!!!!
@@OptimusOneand you support rampant criminality, congratulations
It happens in ALL BLUE CITIES! 🤣
Yeah and he’s opposed to prop 36 as he thinks it reverts to the 1980s. Can’t wait to get that approved!!
@Berto-o4z when I heard him talk about that I couldn't believe what he was saying it's like almost like he wants more crime and is coddling criminals on the basis of race...truly disgusting
Why should her insurance go up? She wasn't at fault, wasn't even a moving violation.
most likely hispanic gangs
Yep.
Only two demographics are responsible for most of the crime and it is not a patel from India.
Why do you guys always bring race? Every ethnicity does crazy things in this country. Two white men tried to take out Trump, which is way worse than stealing gas or breaking into homes. (I'm not a trump supporter though)
😂 yeah sometimes we do that
I have a Smith&Wesson security system backed up by Ruger technology. I highly recommend it. Even Taurus is pretty good, I’ve had my pt945 for over 20 years and never had a problem. Once criminals start finding resistance they won’t be so bold.
Much agreed!! My home is heavily insured by Smith & Wesson!!!! 👍👍👍👍
Who else loathes Newsom?
All for some gas. Unbelievable low for a human.
Okay, that's terrible, but why does this woman need to drive a truck when she's a nurse? I swear 80% of truck buyers do not use their truck to actually haul things.
You sound very democratic ..telling people what they should drive ..🙄
None of your concern, frankly.
Perhaps she uses it to carry her kids' bikes or camping equipment.
The thieves specifically targeted her truck in a parking lot full of other vehicles because it's lifted higher and easy to get under. I'm just saying if she drove a normal car as a daily, this likely wouldn't have happened.
@@Ezero8 If she didn't have the truck, she'd likely drive an SUV since she's got 3 kids and I assume a spouse. SUVs are also higher.
You can walk your kids to school and hop a bus to get to work, RIIIIGHT????? Perhaps Uber, or Lyft would be more to your liking? Doesn't exactly look like a poor area. People make excuses for anything.
"elections have consequences." - Trump
😂 People were stealing gas under Trump.

Did trump build the wall he said Mexico would pay for? or was this just another lie from a Convicted Felon, Adjudicated Sexual Predator.? 😮
CNN interviewed 19 undocumented immigrants who say they worked for the Trump Organization and that Donald Trump had to have known they were undocumented during their employment. CNN's Randi Kaye reports. 😮
Thank you CNN; this should be talked about every time little Donny whines about the border issue he didn't solve.
Premium should not have gone up for this that's ridiculous. It's an active vandalism.
Usual suspects ?
How petty does someone have to be to do this?
Wow. Wreck a guy's car for a little gas eh. That's not happening here in Canada.
Of course not. They steal the whole car 🤣🤣
You may want to park within the hospital grounds...usually there's hospital security roaming around the parking lots.
$40 bucks? ..... its not 1987 anymore 😆
Getting a DashCam is one way to prevent thieves for messing with your car while parked because they don’t know if that camera recording or not so they would just skip your car.
Thank governor guesome

Expensive but works to deter
