Default Locking gas cap for tractors

Last Saturday I got this Scott's/JD lawn tractor from my brother and it had about 1/8th tank gas in it. My 2155 also had maybe the same amount in it. Sunday my new starter arrived so I slapped it on the ol' Cub and while it would turn over, it wouldn't crank. Checked and the gas tank was EMPTY. Checked the Scotts and same thing, EMPTY.

I added some fuel to both tanks and made sure the Cub cranked with the new starter. Fast forward to today and I went to use the Cub and low and behold, tank is EMPTY again. Checked the Scotts and it's still got gas. So I thought maybe the Cub has a leak? But I don't see any wet ground or dead grass underneath where it's parked...

Talked to my neighbor and he said he's been seeing this unfamiliar car parked around our neighborhood and just driving around like they are looking for something. He also said he noticed the seat on his tractor was down instead of up to keep the rain off. And his dog has been growling/barking in the middle of the night like it detects something/someone. So now I'm thinking someone is stealing gas from my tractors!

My question is, do they make locking gas caps for these things?
