[Farmall] 706 and diesel oil missed.(long)

[James Moran]

That is not unlike the old tale about the farmer who grew tired of having his watermelons being pilfered from his patch....
  He put out a sign reading "NOTICE...ONE OF THESE MELONS HAS BEEN POISONED".
  The next day he visited his garden only to find someone had written under his words "NOW, TWO OF THEM ARE POISONED".

Filled  one can with 25% gas and 75% water. Set it out back of the workshop.  Sure enough, it disappeared in a couple of days. About a week later,  noticed my doper neighbor having his car towed home and working on it.
Haven't had any gas go missing lately.
