  Conrad,
 The easiest and fastest way to remove a locking gascap which is missing the 
key is a screw in body puller.
 1) Screw tip of slide hammer body puller into key hole.
 2) Slide hammer hard.
 Plastic latches within cover should bend or snap off. My local VW repair 
guy says he's done this over a hundred times in the 40 years of working on 
cars. He says he's never dropped any broken tabs into the filler neck.
 I tried it. Took about ten seconds for the whole operation.
