Presumably metal taps are still the most durable, but is there any way to
simply make them difficult to steal ? There are some metal covers we can
buy, but they are expensive and need locking up with a padlock every time;
which is a chore.


You could try fastening them to the support with one way screws, which
do up as normal, but are a right pig to undo, and put a shroud round the
tap, so you can't easily get at the fixings, leaving just enough room to
get a hose on. You could also have a look at the new design used by the
Canal and River Trust at their water points. They do rely on a padlock
for security, though.
