a large screw driver and a hammer. force the screwdriver into the lock and turn the driver to remove the gas cap.

It's NOT illegal. It's just frowned upon, like masturbating on an airplane.

I rapped little string around it and pulled it before and it came apart that's only because I didn't wanted to scratch the car but if you don't car bout the big flat head and take it apart the top part is snapped on to the bottom good luck.
