A locking gas cap will only deter the opportunist, never the determined thief. Add that discouraging fact to the initial cost of a locking cap, you might as well leave the stock cap alone, particularly when the newer cars smog tech requires a tight sealing cap.

I have them on all my vehicles I own. Caps are cheap, think the worst was the 50's atlas's for my 38 and 36. 50$ is cheap for peace of mind when you leave your car outside a public place for awhile. On my f150 it was 12$ (mind I didn't always live in great areas)



But true someone that wants to steal will have at it. Locks make an honest person honest. And a thief to maybe look to the next guy, unfortunately for him. Thieves are one thing, asshats are another.

The plastic bag video is unbelievable. But at least she double bagged it...that ought to make it safe for transport.
