Or, you could put in a fuel system like mine

with both fill select valves closed for the winter, they'll give up trying
to siphon pretty quickly and move on to the next boat.

(Just kidding)

Locking gas caps will work as long as you are one of the few that have
them because the thieves will just move on to the easy pickings.

Wait until the figure out the scrap value of bronze fittings and lead
keels

I think it's mostly about not getting too stressed, reporting it, and
deterring the thief as much as reasonably possible. Most criminals are
looking for easy pickins, and they move on if any brain power or effort is
required. That's why the police recommend locking your house, keeping your
garage door closed, and having lights on timers (and/or motion sensors).
