Gotta love it!
Sent an e-mail to FordParts asking for a locking fuel cap for my '06 F-250. Their reply? "No such part is available for your vehicle"
So I do a google--and find a Motorcraft branded cap within 10 seconds at rockauto.com!

I got a Stant locking gas cap and I managed to put the tether around it using two small flat-blade screwdrivers as leverage. It can be done, but with a liberal amount of cursing. (I did that for the same reason as above, my wife!)

With my wife, little "insurances" like that are a precaution - just to have all the angles covered. I love her, she's brilliant and beautiful... but she's so smart she just needs someone to look out for her. Now... do you think I'm crazy to want the tether to be there? I'd go through a fortune in gas caps...

Puts an UNOPENED can of beans in the microwave, used the sink soap in the dishwasher, TONS of bubbles ALL OVER the kitchen...etc, etc, etc....
But on the other hand, I've seen a few "teathered" caps banging the stuffings out of the body going down the road flapping away.
Alas, they were all minivans though....
Hmmm, think they were distracted?
I understand where you are coming from.
I still think your post is funny though....
Guess yer gonna hafta rig it up so a chime dings when the cap is off. Ain't that hard to do.
