Abstract: A fuel theft prevention system for a vehicle including: at least one processor; and a memory, operatively connected to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to: receive, from a first sensing system, first activity data; determine, based on the first activity data, a first confidence value indicative of whether the activity is suspicious; receive fuel data indicative of a fuel level in the fuel tank; and cause, based on the first activity data and the fuel data, at least one mitigation action to be taken when the fuel level decreases by a threshold amount, wherein the threshold amount includes a first amount when the first confidence value is a first value and a second amount when the first confidence value is below the first value, and wherein the second amount is greater than the first amount.
