Locking fuel cap

Does anyone know where I can get a locking fuel cap from? If my car gets stolen I don't want the little bastards to be able to fill it up and wreck it even more.

Preferably somewhere online.

Thanks for the help

I nabbed mine from a "real" auto store (not Pep Boys or Strauss or AutoZone) for $25, saw the same one in Kmart a few months later for $12.

You should try genuine - my parents picked me up a genuine cap for $10 canadian when they were in Canada, so should be about the same in the US
