well, its actually pretty easy.

you just drill a hole in the dipstick handle, and then use "safety wire" to secure it.

look into it. its easy, and while not a "lock" it will make it very difficult for someone to tamper with your oil, and if they do, it will be easy to notice.

melt hot wax across the top of your oil cap. I use dark red cuz it looks like fresh blood. if wax is broken you have an intruder.

Or at least write off the expense of the repairs as a casuality loss on you Income Tax return. That punk **** sucks.
