ATLANTA — With the price of fuel going up and up, some people in Atlanta are getting even more frustrated after finding their cars have been completely drained of gas.

What appears to be happening is someone is going underneath the cars with a drill, then drilling holes in the gas tanks and catching the gas with a bucket.

One victim sent Channel 2′s Matt Johnson a photo of the damage the thieves caused to their car, costing them hundreds of dollars to repair.

Several victims told Johnson that one day their cars wouldn’t start and they realized they were out of gas, even though they knew they had a full tank of gas.

After having their cars towed, they found the hole that had been drilled in the tank.

Gas thefts have popped up in East Atlanta, Kirkwood, Edgewood and DeKalb County over the past month.
