Best would be get a Knox cap. It can not be removed.

We received a letter from a local fire official saying they've seen a
significant increase in theft of FDC's.  It's no longer just the brass
plugs, but now it's the female swivel - making the FDC non-functional.



Some potential solutions that have been offered include:

*    Using a bit of JB Weld on the set screw that holds the swivel in
place
*    Drilling out the top of the same set screw
*    Replacing standard FDC's w/Storz
*    Installing locking covers (such as Knox #3041)
*    Electrifying the FDC and instructing fire fighters to wear
insulating gloves (not really)



Anybody got any other ideas?
