I had a friend (died a few years ago) who had a Ford 8N tractor and lived on the edge of our local small town, his neighbor put in a trailer court just over the fence from him, he said he couldn't keep enough gas in the tractor overnight to start the tractor the next morning. He said he took the biggest trap he could fit under the hood (unfortunatly a small muskrat trap and would have liked to put in a bear trap), chained it tight to the tractor and set it on top of the gas cap. The next morning the hood was up, trap was sprung, and he never lost another drop of gas from the tractor again. But he said you couldn't leave anything out for an hour or it was stolen, he said they didn't steal shovels or pitchforks with broken or short handles so he cut off a good foot of the handles and they were never touched, but forget his pocket knife on a hay bale for a little while and it was gone.
