You could set up a pressure switch (like those used on the doors for your interior light) and hook it up to your car alarm or horn.

or even a gate alarm. They are about 120db and cost $10. When the pin is released the alarm will sound until the pin is back in. I like the idea of smashing the **** out of the person but its your call. If you hurt them they will come back and do something 10x worse.

probably not the best idea to put any kinda switch next to the petrol filler, most, if not all switches make a spark when switched.

probably not a good idea to have a car that leaks petrol vapors out of the filler cap

Put really long nails pointing upwards on the ground where the fuel cap is. OR MOUSE TRAPS!!! HAHAHAHH OR A BEAR TRAP!!!!!

glass etc etc.

Because 9/10 the bogan that steals the petrol isnt wearing shoes, or really worn thongs. So attack him from below!!!
