    The idea that sugar messes up an engine is debunked.
    If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity,
    nothing else matters.​

    Locking caps are hard to come by, and many of the ones you can find really don't work that well. JMHO.

    Now to serve up some thief-juice... a second fuel fill, connected to a gallon of Everclear (or Moonshine) and Acetone mixture. That ought to slow them down at least a little bit... sooner or later.
