Did someone steal my gas cap?

When the car is locked, the gas cap is locked. I'm guessing someone tried to pop it open as to vandalize your car, saw it was locked shut, so decided to just pry it off completely. If you are really in NYC, that's an area I see a lot of vandalism on the Civic Type R groups that I come from as well. The good news is it should be relatively straight forward to replace without having any record of it on the CarFax

Yeah I’m in NYC. Surprised as I was parked in SoHo
 
I'm pretty sure the invisible gas cap was an option for the NYC market. It was to deter people from stealing it. It's a pilot project for the full pre-vandalized package coming soon to US markets.
