locking DEF cap

Did anyone ever come out with the locking DEF cap yet ?
I have been checking the Fuel Defend website and it still says coming soon.
It would be nice to have the piece of mind knowing some douche can't empty something down there without knowing til it's too late.

I have heard that there were some in the development stages, but nothing has come to market as of this date.

There is still always this option:



Yes, it's not full proof. But, then neither is a locking fuel/gas/def cap.

Still think the locking caps are a better solution than locking the flimsy gas door. Have locking fuel cap is the critical one of the two since the DEF system is cheaper to repair than the fuel system.

we agree.. if/when a locking def cap arrives, it will be nice..
in the short term, with a door lock, you will at least have some indication that something has happened..

my gas cap and the cap on the aux tank are both locked.. only need to go into the stock filler area is for def..
