ABSTRACT:
The disclosed cap has an elongated body with screw threads formed on one end, and an interior cavity extended axially away from the threads toward the other end. The cavity is defined in part by a generally transverse face disposed radially in from the threads and an elongated smaller closed end bore extended axially from the transverse face. The threads and face would be sized to correspond to the threads and transverse face on a packing nut used on an exterior water faucet, and the bore would be sized with sufficient diameter and length to fit with clearance over the faucet stem. The cap would preclude unauthorized use of the faucet by replacing the faucet packing nut with it, which then would overlie the stem and preclude opening or closing actuation of the faucet.
