Fuel filler question.....

Has anyone heard of solution for locking the fuel filler yet? the Stant unit for the rest of the Ford lineup will not fit these cars. I have one on my F150, and I love it. The little woman parks her 'stang in a highly suspect public ramp with no security cameras, and lots of jealous drivers of lesser cars. We would both feel a lot more comfortable if there was a way to at least keep the lazy criminals out. Please don't say: park somewhere else, drive something else, or take the bus. None of these are options for this situation.

I wonder if it will fit the 2015 or if there is a new version for the 2015?

I had this plug (purchased from Ford) on my 2011 Mustang and then transferred to my 2013 SHO. I took it off the SHO at the dealers and tried it on the Mustang, the day I picked it up and it didn't fit. They completely changed the filler opening (WHY???) and there doesn't seem to be any way to put a locking plug on it. I checked with Ford, on line, and they do not list any plugs for the 2015 Mustang.

The least they could have done was locked the fuel filler door. Even my wife's 2015 Jeep Cherokee has a locking fuel filler door, opened from inside the car.

I've been studying this little problem for a while now, and the only way I can see to do it is to completely change the upper portion of the fill tube. It would have to be a factory retro-fit kit- most likely sold over the counter. Also, I'm thinking they went this way because(and I'm theorizing here), 90+% of these cars are sold to either: Rental co.'s, secretaries, and fussbudgets who only take 'em out of the garage when the stars are aligned just so. The rest of us who use 'em in the real world are an afterthought.
