    I know they have locking gas caps available, but that involves having an extra key to have to keep track of. Not really a "dealbreaker" per se, but was just wondering if anyone had any thoughts/mods on how to safely secure these.

    The one who dies with the most stuff wins.
    I think the concern too is to prevent someone from adding something like water to the tank, or stuffing a rag down there.

    I found that a good old .45 Cal hand gun with an extra mag clip works pretty good.
