but since OP said they've found her gas cap door open a few times, I'd probably go with siphoning. and it might not be a kid. could be an older fellow who's down on his luck and decided to steal gas.

Dont they sell a device that looks like a tapered spring that you drop down into your gas tank that wont allow a hose to be put down into it but still allows fuel to be dispensed into it? i forget what theyre called... or you could always sit on your front porch with a pellet gun. out in the country where i live we have these kids (teenagers) who ride around on 4 wheelers all over the countryside and drive up into our yard and leave big ruts and they've even ran over and BROKE our water meter twice. I placed some home made spike strips at the end of our yard, and guess who hasn't been back? If they're in the right away thats all fine and dandy but as soon as they cross where my property starts, they're trespassing and they're fair game! lol. But seriously, I'd put up motion sensor trail cams inside the car. if it's dark they probably wouldnt notice them. they typically have IR cameras on them so you can get pictures at night without fear of a flash scaring the target away. However if it were ME, I'm a bit old school and live out in the country so i'd load up a .410 with some rocksalt rounds and have a stake out and as soon as i catch em, i'd shoot em in the bohiney. wont do any serious damage but they'll definitely remember it and think twice before they try to siphon out of anyone elses tank!
