Sorry to hear that.

This same thing happened years ago to my grandfather when they lived on a dairy farm. The story as my dad tells it.

On the farm they had a gas tank and diesel tank side by side for fueling the farm vehicles. It seemed that they were always coming up short on fuel and having an idea of where it might be going had a solution. The next time they had the fuel tanks filled they had them switch tanks. So the gas went into the diesel tank and diesel into the gas tank. After the switch late one night they heard a car rolling into the driveway to the fuel tanks.

A few days later my granddad saw a neighbor walking down the road and slowed to ask "what happened to your car?", the neighbor said "it quit runnin, guess I got some bad gas." Granddad drove on and left him to his walking. It was all that was ever said and he never drove the car again. That was the last gas to come up missing on the farm.
