Here's a very nasty old trick.
As they're probably syphoning at night they won't be able to see much. Use some disposable gloves to blue tack a drawing pin covered in dog poo to the petrol cap. When they !!!!! their finger or hand they'll shake their hand and want to suck the blood off!!!
I hope you get the blighters!

Nice idea, but a bit risky. I've heard of a bloke sticking razor blades to the back of his car stereo because it's always being nicked, but then the owner got sued by the thief. People hurting themselves breaking into houses ... Ditto. Getting attacked by a guard dog ... Poochie gets put to sleep. Boo.

Petrol cap is on the outside of the car, you would be wearing glove, so no fingerprints. So there is no actual proof that you put it there.

i took my tank out and cut the neck off and welded a wire net in as far down as possible, then welded the neck back on. took all of one hour.
