Catalytic Converter Theft...

Well that's a strange issue to have. I could leave a bag of money sitting in my driveway and it wouldn't get stolen. Lol

 

it's the god damned meth heads. been happening for a long time.

And judging by the news aggregator link below, looks like it's on the rise again.

Reason #472 why I park my vehicles in a locked garage. Obviously I'm a sitting duck in a parking lot though

It's unbelievable that parts of our exhausts need to have anti theft systems these days.

 

Yeah I'm afraid we're already there nd4. Then there are the tailgate theives. Easier to snatch and about as pricey to replace...with the back up cams and all.

 

A rare place in these times.

 

Neat idea OP but I am afraid that would not slow them down here in Atlanta Ga.

 

Shoot they'd just take the whole truck lol

 

i always keep my tailgate locked as well. seems like now a days you cant have anything nice with these jackasses around.

 

Meth maggots. As soon as they steal a cordless sawzall its game on with the cats.

 

Well, these are my neighbors. They're not exactly know for stealing, except when they stick their heads through the fence and eat my grass.

 

I'm glad I live where I do. I've never heard of a cat getting stolen here, not even from those living near a Chinese restaurant.

 

We used to go to a late night Chinese restaurant for some eats after a Friday night of clubbing in Montreal, that was until it was raided the next morning for the above. They found skinned cats hanging in the walk in fridge.

Their chicken fried rice was amazingly good.

True story.

 

Welcome to the Central Valley. I'm from Modesto, the city of "Meth, Death, and Car Theft."

 

By the way, I think this should be a mod

 

Anybody thought about putting a camera, or an alarm under the truck?

Personally, I'd like to put some kind of spring loaded spike or blade underneath... but of course the legal issues are not conducive to protecting property in that way.

 

For those looking for alternatives and ideas... here's my contribution.
