I haven't heard of anything in my area but I live in Austin and our economy is fairing better than most. When gas was so expensive I was very nervous about filling up the truck (26 gallon tank) for fear of fuel siphoning. I do make sure doors are locked, including the one to the house inside the locked garage. I don't use ATMs alone or at night. I tend to get cash at the store when I buy groceries and if I go at night I usually ask my husband to come too. That is scary bouncy!
