just have to know where to park, boss says stay in cab not worth getting hurt for, it happens on motorway services, truckstops, anywhere, mainly pikeys, and our eastern block drivers, they are poorly paid and will risk alot for a few quid extra.

Yonks ago when I worked with S&N as a Transport Clerk, the drivers used to tell stories on how they'd park up at night and be approached by some poor unfortunate with a Land/Range Rover and sob story asking for a little diesel just to get them home. The drivers being decent blokes would say yes.
Conveniently they always had their own pump hooked up, however these pumps could shift a hella lotta fuel, and were more often than not linked up to a large capacity tank in the boot, and before the driver knew it, they pikey had syphoned off a fair amount of fuel.
One of the drivers favourite sayings was "I threw a bottle of pish over him". Apparently due to limited rest breaks/road works/etc, the drivers made good use of any empty 2l bottles lying around so as not to soil themselves.
I'm wondering if our Gez been known to throw bottles of pish over irksome oiks?

nah just refuse point blank, if they do try anything start engine drive off simples. if tacho card out keep going do a print out and write on back moved due to safety reasons.

actually lost about 1200 ltrs of fuel in all the time I've been driving, have known some lads who did europe with long range tanks to lose that in one night.
