How do you protect your fuel?
 
I would like to know if you have some strategy or just believe in the goodness of people.
I want to protect my cars from fuel thieves. I am thinking on different strategies but I always keep coming to the same conclusion.
I think something practical that will give a little more peace of mind. I am convinced that thieves will get what they want every time, it is just a matter of time for them, but I also know that if you have your car with a little protection or better than the next car you will not be the victim.

So I have been looking for key lock gas caps and I am disappointed. They use the most basic kind of key and I have even read the one key fits all so it does not seem to work.https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/my350z....c37b45250c.jpg
I have seen that there is even a way to open this fuel caps easily with something like this.

Can you suggest a system or gas cap that is a little bit better than OEM without protection?

This kind of key seems to give a little more protection.

I believe that they make some Harley gas caps with this key.

They even make this kind of Cap cover with a lock! Does not seem practical to me.

So I would like to hear your solutions because every time I go to a parking lot or even when leaving the car outside my house
my car is game!

Doesn't your fuel door lock?

Wow I didn't know that fuel thieves were still a thing. I live in Baltimore where there are plenty of car jacking/ trying doors /smash and grabs. I've never once heard of people siphoning fuel. And lastly, this is why it wont happen.

My garage works, then my ring camera will catch the person in the driveway.
