Whether you have had your catalytic converter stolen before or are worried your may be a target for this crime, it may be a good idea to employ several methods to prevent catalytic converter theft on your vehicle. In this video, I will discuss four ways to prevent catalytic converter theft that you may want to try.
Vehicles like SUVs, trucks, buses and vans are common targets due to their elevated height. Thieves often don’t need to bring a jack and can easily slide underneath to cut out the CAT in a few minutes. But, don’t assume that you are safe just because you have a car. Thieves can just as easily bring a jack to jack up your car to steal the CAT.
So what can you do to prevent theft?
Don’t let CAT theft happen to you the first time or even a second or third time. Use a layered approach to your car security by using multiple methods shown in our video. The more layered, the more likely the thief will move on to the next target.
