They still provide good service. Just don't forget your key.

Seems to me if you were to try and use the cap with no gasket, you better not fill up your tank!!!

in Florida we have a "stand your ground" criteria but since I doubt stealing gas qualifies as being in "fear of your life" (a key element for reaction), your best shot is the protection a lock can get you. I did have a locking cap on my 78, but it gave out after about 5 years and now I have a standard OEM type (I do have an NOS gold colored cap, but rarely use it). fortunately never hard an issue.

I still have the original vented cap on my 69 The car came with a locking cap with the briggs key and the original one looks like it is new because of the condition.
I was told during judging that it should have a paper gasket, but there is nothing left of it.
