Is someone stealing the gas out of my car? I dont think that extra hole in my locking gas cap...

Is it a vented gas cap? The hole, and the T slotting around it looks original to manufacture.

Do you feel any difference in fuel usage? If no then don’t worry

That hole is where the plastic tether attaches to the cap.

Get a new lockable cap. Plus set up camera to catch the culprit.

Nah, just your heavy right foot.

If in doubt... then, replace it... 🤷‍♀️

I would think, even if it's possible for someone to defeat your locking gas cap, it wouldn't be worth the effort, and they would look for an easier target.

Yes but you can also open without a key if you stick something pointed into that little hole.

Someone did. You see that cross molded into the cap? That's a witness mark so you know where to drill the cap if the keys are lost so you can override the tumbler mechanism.
