Locks only keep honest people out. If someone really wanted to steal your gas, a lockable cap isn't going to stop them. Heck, they already did some damage to your car by just prying the gas lid open.

Get a car alarm, record and report any vandalism immediately to your insurance/police.

i agree with most of this, if someone wants ur shit they will get it, even if that means making it un useable. they will get the gas or put stuff in with or without the gas cap.

i completly disagree with the reporting part. if its serious and u cant fix it urself or relativatly cheap then report it, otherwise its not worth the headache to get no where in an almost unsolvable case.

also ur insurance could go up over something that would have only cost maybe $100 to fix. if u tell ur insurance company ur car was vandalized ur car is now high risk and ur in a high risk area. hence y my car is registered at a different house in a better location.

also if u file a police report they will notify ur insurance company (or it will go on ur car history and the insurance company will have access to see it) so even if u jsut want to tell the police the insurance company will still screw u
