Today, driving around Conference City, I saw a car with a padlocked gas tank.
Wuh-what?
Is this normal?
I've considered padlocking the -80 freezer in the lab, but I've never thought to padlock my vehicle.
What needs to be padlocked the most in your life?

maybe there's been a rash of sugar in the gas tank?
With the price up to $3.60+/gallon where I live, maybe there's been a rsh of siphoning.
The only thing I padlock is the back door, which otherwise swings open at will, and our storage unit.
Most modern vehicles have some sort of anti-siphoning mechanism...
In the 70s, there was a huge market for key-lock gas caps because gas prices (and actual shortages) led to lots of theft and no cars had any security at all for the gas cap.
By the 80s, most cars had an inside release, sometimes inside of a locked glove compartment, but that faded somewhat as cheap gas took over.
The spot market says gas is headed for a price at least $0.70 above where it was just a month ago.
