And you will "get his" very expensive message because you won't know before it is too late.
Now don't get me wrong. I am not going to do anything to secure my oil filler plug. I just don't park in bad neighborhoods. I was just trying to answer to LongRanger who said, where do you stop if you start. The answer is, some anti-tamper measures are "efficient", many are not.

Uh oh... I'm in trouble now. I'd better get that locking filler cap!
