Diesel thieves target sleeping truckies nationwide

Diesel theft from trucks has surged across Australia as fuel prices rise, with thieves siphoning fuel from vehicles even while drivers sleep inside. Sydney operator Hannah's Haulage has lost nearly $10,000 worth of diesel in just one month, with thieves using electric pumps and tanks to steal fuel from parked trucks. Police report increasing incidents at highways and construction sites, but enforcement remains difficult as thieves operate opportunistically with limited identifying features.
