Default Has anybody had their gas syphoned out of the Z?

My wife filled the car two Fridays ago and we have only driven the car 50 miles since then. She went to pick up the car today, and the car is almost empty (65 miles to go).

The gas door seems to be a little out of alignment at the bottom (sticks out a little bit) but I do not know if this was like that before....

Has anybody had this problem? If anybody stole the gas, it must have been on my apartment complex garage.

Can you actually open the gas door without breaking it?

Opinions.

Thanks.

I heard that the filler neck has a screen on it so you can't not sure if its true or not.

I think there is a Technicial Service Bulletin out for the anti siphon valve. But I think it has to do with difficulty in filling the tank not emptying it.

Nope, I usually handcuff her to the bed, and after everything is done, I leave her as it is. (she moves too much while sleeping)

Sometimes when i fill my car, the nozzle stops as if the tank was full and I don't notice its not full until later. Perhaps this is what happened? Happens a lot on the Z especially when the tank level is really low.
