Default 2021 locking Gas Cap

I have a 21 XLT with the 2.7 with one of those flapper type fuel fillers. I would like to put a locking gas cap on it for protection as it is parked out of my view frequently. I checked with a couple of dealers and they could not find one. You never know what you get from aftermarket on the internet so if someone has had a satisfactory result with this any help would be appreciated.
Edit: I’m more concerned someone will put something nefarious down the filler neck than someone stealing the fuel. I should have provided more information in the original post.

They can't be siphoned.

Yep, the guys looking to steal gas are punching/drilling holes in the tanks because I believe all tanks with or without caps can't be siphoned. I've had capless tanks since 2008....non-issue

Your truck is most likely lifted for easy access to the plastic fuel tank, a quick punch hole and your fuel is gone.

Living in Nefarious Cali, one needs all the help one can get, so the Ford locking fuel tank cap makes some sense(BU5Z-9C268-B Ford Parts for $44.95)...for the "Ford gas tanks can't be syphoned,"crowd....take a look at the YouTube tutorials on how to syphon the new Ford gas tanks using a bit of narrow poly tube and a pen-knife...I bought 2 of the gas caps 2 years ago(about $20 then)...planning for the inevitable...AND some POLY TUBING from HD!(be prepared!)....Ol' Rattler moving on, now.....
