You guys don't have a latch that catches the door shut when you lock the doors?

I was concerned about the lack of a lock until I realized that neither of my current vehicles have tham.
As a side note, I've heard that it takes a LOT of sugar to mess up your engine

I have had a capless filler on my Audi for 18 years, as previously mentioned. Before that I had one on my '89 VW. Neither vehicle was off-road capable. The capless fillers were't OEM but aftermarket. What's good is that the new ones apparently can't be accessed unless a specific nozzle fits. That makes me wonder if there will be problems with some gas station pump nozzles.Locksmith can mend as well as provide solution for the lock.

Has anyone tried to siphon fuel out of a fit? based on the length and diameter and the route the filler hose takes you'd have to have a pretty small diameter hose to get it to the tank. I suspect gas thieves also target cars that hold more than 8 gallons?
