Flew into Nashua last Sunday for business, topped off the tanks right
after setting down. When I came back from business on Thursday, found
the right tank down quite a bit. I was going crazy looking for the
leak and checking the drain for seepage, until the line guy pointed out
that he filled the tank back up exactly 5 gallons--which happens to be
the volume of a standard gas can. He said he'd seen it happen to
another plane on the line, both tanks down 5 gallons.

If this kind of thievery is going on at the airport, I'd be more
concerned about my airplane and its components than gas in the tanks.
A radio is worth a lot more than 5 gallons of avgas.

And if no one is notices gas siphoning, are they similarly oblivious
to people stealing an airplane to use for some nefarious purpose?
Whatever happened to Airport Watch?
