Amazing... people in our own family trying to use fear to stop people
from going to the nationals. I have been going since 1993 and have
never had my gas siphoned or my tires stolen, or anything else bad
happen to me or my crew. ,... not saying it doesn't happen
occasionally

Well, yeah - unfortunately it does, at least the gas thing. We just happened to have an extra little container of gas to offer a great guy we met who spent the entire Gatheriing making coffee for folks in a parking lot, with just a few trips in for himself. While on one of those trips, someone siphoned all his gas. Solution: locking gas cap.
