Sugar in the tank or coke will only plug up the filter. It will no hurt the engine. If it even made it into the combustion chamber it would just burn off.

is there any way of telling if the mileometer on a car has been tampered with?

Modern cars have good filters and that should stop it. Unless you had an almost empty tank and they poored a LOT of coke into the tank you shouldn't have much to worry about.

what causes the heater or ac to blow hot or cold air when AC and Defroster are off?

As for me, I would notify the Police of the vandalism, then have a dealer change my fuel filter and flush the tank at the vandals cost. Can't hurt the car and might just teach the fool a lesson.

what could be wrong with my heater?

Only one way to find out, lol...I think it depends on how much gas you have in the car, and how much coke you put it, I think a single can with a full tank of gas would not disable it. Obviously the more your coke to gas ratio is, the less likely it is your car is gonna be runnin for very long. Hey if it kills it, you can always sue him and get a new car, lol....well good luck
