Default Re: Is no gas tank safe? Rising prices prompt increased theft

I remember we used to have a locking gas cap on our 1980 Ford E100 van. My Colt has a locking gas flap, but that's mega-pathetic for stopping any serious vandal. Unfortunately an easier way to get the gas out of my Colt is the handy drain plug bolt at the bottom of the tank... Luckily in Canada we don't have quite as much of that going on, so I'm not too worried about it. If it does get bad I'll just start putting no more than $5 in the tank at any time.
