I make it a habit to draw lines through my amounts and put the $ right next to my total paid. Like '$40' not '$ 40.'
I usually go for even amounts like $48.00 and round up tips but instead of writing '$48.00,' I write '$48-------' (solid line to the end of the paper) so they cannot write anything else or change the 0 to an 8.
This works for me, no fradulent charges posted yet.

But like mcjewl, I usually tip an amount to give an even total amount. So, if say the bill was $48.25 and I wanted to tip roughly 15 per cent, I'd tip $6.75 or $7.75 to make the total $55.00 or $56.00, and I write in the amount of the tip. But in reality, this is probably not much of a safeguard, I guess...
