That's EXACTLY what we're trying to say; poking a hole in the tank or fill hose is actually easier than using a siphon that gets the perp a mouthful of no-lead if he's not careful.
My concern had always been of somebody dumping something IN, rather than taking anything out. I've read that it would take a big bunch of sugar to 'caramelize' in the engine; more time and trouble than most vandals will expend. I've retired all the locking caps at our house.
Actually, the same logic holds with many Jeepers; the counsel is 'don't bother locking the doors with the soft top on'. Ever see city cars with the doors unlocked and a 'no radio' sign?

A Fit's best defense from gas thieves is its 10 gallon tank; hardly worth the trouble.

Iagree. The 10 gallon tank isn't enough to attract many theives. In 40 years of driving, everywhere from theghetto of Detroit to Frisco, no one has put anything in my tank.
