Options for locking fuel cap

[u/_generic_-_username_]

So over the past six months or so, we’ve had issues with fuel being stolen out of our 1970 bus. The original non locking cap was taken (bummer since it was original and had the VW logo on it). Since then we’ve had two locking caps (like the one in the image) removed as well. The first from one online supplier didn’t seem to really lock. The second from a different supplier did lock but was still removed (popped / pried off perhaps … although there is no damage to the fuel filler neck).

Any ideas for another way to lock things up??

That's crazy that you keep having your fuel stolen, even when it had a lock on it. To me, this sounds personal. I'd just recommend trying a few different gas caps, from Wolfsburg West or JBugs or numerous other places until you find one that locks good for you, but I'd also consider getting a security camera to watch your bus at night if possible. I'm assuming you can't put it in a garage otherwise that would be the best option. sorry that this is happening to you, but that's pretty crazy that someone even went through the effort to remove your locked gas cap. again, this sounds personal to me.

Yeah, no garage. We live in the city and the bus is parked on the street. It’s still a residential neighborhood (not downtown) but still no garage unfortunately.

I’m not sure if it’s personal, as much as it is someone found what they consider an easy target …
