    The catalytic convertor theft is on the rise again... Please keep in mind this is an easy $100-$200 per cat for a thief and they work quick.

    The Tampa area is getting hit once again so please use caution in where you park your vehicle. The Tacoma/4runners/Tundras and other high sitting vehicles are prime targets because there is plenty of working room.

    Please pass this along to your friends and keep a watch on your Taco's!!!

    Take care,
    Frank

    Few weeks ago it happened in my schools parking lot. I was actually on campus that day and heard about it on the news later. I would be pissed.

    Thanks for the heads up.
