I agree 100%. I love people who complain to people such as "arghgh if you don't have thousands on the side don't get into this hobby arghgh" it's like man, do you think I decided to put an engine on a bicycle because I'm just swarming in cash right now? I would of went electric if it wasn't so expensive. I went with gas and absolutely love it. I was talking to my sister about my bike and honestly, if I went through every part on the bicycle and engine I don't think I've touched $500. 4L tank = Free 49mm cylinder = Free (I did a ton of work on it, between carbide bits, a new dremel and sandpaper, roughly $25? Exhaust = $30.00 69cc Engine = $35.00 (bought brand new locally) Better throttle = $12 PZ20 carb and adapter = $16 (carb was free, long story) Button clutch lever = $10 Tachometer = Free Cell phone mount = $5 CNC Head = $30 Total : $165 so far.

As stated, this isn't supposed to stop someone from stealing your gas. Go ahead, steal my $4 in gas. What I don't want is to be outside of a store and some kid thinks it's funny to pour God knows what in it. Someone would have to destroy the gas cap, and at that point you would know to not start your engine. I live in a big city where it isn't some small town and everybody is nice and respectful of each other. It's a small investment to ensure nobody will tamper with it. Let me guess, someone could just remove the cap, take off the fuel bowl, pour stuff in, close it up and put it back on?
Thank you for posting this video

If they want your gas all they have to do is pull the fuel line off and drain it. The locking gas cap is just for show at that point.
