For all who camp at Pismo, lock your sh** up! We had 9 full cans of gas stolen out of our trailer the first night there. We followed tire tracks through the fresh sand at 5am. The tracks went through every campsite especially those who camped on the edge of the shore. We were able to recover most of the cans at the police station. They had found 20 empty cans thrown under the freeway underpass. Low lifes. We will catch them someday. We run a cable through everthing now.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]

 

I have a better idea....set out some cans with watered down gas or perhaps a degreaser mixed in it or something that would trash an engine....let them steal it. *Evil grin

 

It was probably someone from a local gas station trying to drum up business. Just look for the people with the largest storage space for gas. What would someone do with 20 gallons of gas in a limited amount of time? It's probably best to run a cable or something through the handles. Tight so it's hard to dump the gas into another container on the spot.

 

dbeck-LOL! awesome idea! That'll teach em!

 

We were there last weekend. The kids in a neighboring camp got busted for stealing wood at night from another camp. They didn't arrest them (the evidence is all burned up), but they made them pack up and leave early. I have to say that I have never had anything stolen anywhere I have ever camped. I always chain the bikes up at night, but the other stuff (riding gear, gas cans, etc.) just lays around and anybody could take it.

 

One more story. I did have somebody steal a gas can off my trailer while it was parked on the street. Thing was, it had a mix of pump gas and VP C12 race gas. Now, C12 has lead in it. If they put it in their car, it will poison the catalytic converter. Next time they get smog checked, I hope they have to buy a nice new expensive catylitic converter!!!

 

That sucks. You should take some nice big dogs a few bear traps.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
But I like dbeck's idea. I was in Laughlin this past weekend with some sea doos and
and our buddys had sea doos as well. Some low-life stole all 4 of there gas cans which
were all filled. I hate those S.O.B

 

Yeah dbeck thats a good idea!

 

Never had a problem at pismo but a cable through the bikes and cans anyway is a good idea. Especially the last month when half of cali has been there.











I DONT RIDE FAST I JUST FLY LOW!

 

what you do is you run a cable through them then run the cable around a part of your tent and when you feel the tent moving at night u got a problem to take care of.
