Yes....most f the pumps had locks like your RV, one bay door key fits every trailer made. Then they started putting on the tear off labels, which really didn't slow them down much. The best security was for the station to open each pump at the start of business and check, or be open 24 hours.
We had a Unocal at the corner that we used for years. In a three month period, we had our card compromised at that station twice. I spoke to the owner and told him we would quit shopping there unless he rectified the problem. They eventually increased their security and resolved the issue.
Interesting since the Moorpark Unocal I had noticed 1. didn't have stickers 2. were lose fitting doors for the card reader.
I mentioned it to the clerk when I went inside to pay he said they check them everyday and don't have a problem. Soon afterwards it seemed they started w the stickers. I have been hacked 3 x at two different SHELL 1. Moorpark (2) 2. Agoura Hills (this was the night clerk since I paid inside.
