Gas siphoning?

That is just terrible….to think that there are such scumbags out there who would do this to boat owners. I guess that most of us are vulnerable, because who checks their boat constantly? This might be a stupid idea, but can you get gas caps that lock, and my h says they aren’t made that way. Anyhow, I am sorry to hear that this happened to you.

I remember locking auto gas caps during the 1973 oil embargo. A quick Google search reveals they are available for boats although they may be manufacturer specific.
