Dealer said my gas was siphoned. Would there be evidence?

I was in a car accident. My fuel level sensor went out. I filled up with gas, approx 11.5 gal. About a day and a half and 40 miles later, I ran out of gas. The dealer said I must have made a mistake and It was actually $11.50. I told them even if I did put in 3 or 4 gallons, it would have lasted further than 40 miles. I double checked my bill, and it was almost $40. He said maybe the gas was siphoned. I do park in a public lot in a bad neighborhood, but, can they siphon the gas without my knowledge, or would they leave marks or break the door that goes over the gas cap? I am wondering if it is more likely a leak or a siphoning?I haven't been back to the dealership yet to verify if there are marks or not. Just want to know what I should look for, and if the dealer is full of it.Thanks.Tahoan2005 AWD Vibe Neptune Blue
