Heck, I very seldom lock my basement compartments much less my fuel tank. If someone wants to steal something I would rather not have the coach messed up by some idiot with a crowbar. Maybe I’ll put a locking cap on my DEF tank?
 
@Neal mentioned bike, I have to say that even though I believe most places are okay I am finding bikes are #1 things stolen. Last place I was staying I had DW & my bike locked together with cable bike lock. Woke up one morning to find cable cut and my Cannondale gone?
 
This is why my Blackvue 1-CH Dashcam in my MH is always on and I use the power magic pro to keep the Dashcam 2-CH (front and rear) on as long as possible to try to catch events like this.
 
Stealing diesel with 1/2” hose, could be long process, me thinks?
I agree! That said, locking caps might deter a vandal from putting something bad in the fuel tank. We don't use them...yet...but may consider doing so in the future for that reason.

Have them on both fuel caps for the coach...and the single fuel cap for the Jeep... Not sure if they are of any real benefit. But, I figure it’s less likely to be vandalized.
 
Nope, there's never anything in there anyway.
