    My car was in the process of getting the catalytic converters stolen. Little did he know I was still up (4am) and heard his saw. I simply walked out to my driveway and kicked the jack. It immediately dropped and crushed the guy. I could hear him struggling to breathe and in extremely pain. I kinda panicked and walked back inside and tried to go a bed. Within a few hours a guy walking his dog called 911 when he saw a pool of blood coming down my drive way. The cops knocked on my door and informed me that a thief was dead under my car due to a “faulty Jack”. Luckily the guy had a lengthy record and no one saw me kick the Jack. Till this day I don’t feel bad about the guy but I can still perfectly hear his struggle gasping for air.

    In most states, it is illegal for a "muffler shop" to "delete" a cat converter.

    legally and safely weld in what you want for your exhaust system. TRUE

      H Haq Underground Station? That’s in Greater London then. Let me guess.....you own a 2003 - 2009 model Prius (Mark 2), right? Those bastards nicked mine too 20th November....!! In Bermondsey, “sarf of the rivah”.....(my fault for venturing there).
      Members of the gang targeting Prius cars exclusively, have been caught on camera! They were also confronted - they’re of Eastern European extraction, and I’m pretty sure they’re carting all their stolen CATs abroad to the continent (as scrap metal - possibly in a container) to be smelted down and sold to willing buyers. You read it here; those metals are worth more than gold...!!! And sadly, the Prius 2nd Gen has the HIGHEST concentration of those precious metals in it’s CAT, compared to many other vehicles. Cost of an original replacement is £2,000.....now you know why it isn’t cheap!
      Curiously, the London Metropolitan Police don’t seem to care. About 200 Prii done over the last month and all they do is issue crime numbers and a link to a victim support group for a hug.
      Catch the crooks? Maybe warn the general public to be on the lookout? Be aware? Get footage of the bastards? Nah! That’s too cerebral. Easier to bury their heads in the sand 😡
      Mind you, I’m probably being harsh on the Met. The government have all but decimated the UK’s Police Force by about 22,000 officers, cut their budgets in the name of austerity, and ensured those in charge will dance to the nasty party’s tune instead of protecting and serving the public like they certainly would like to. They’ve been literally neutered; turned into a toothless bulldog.
      So, sorry Metropolitan Police!

    My present auto is a 2019 Dodge Charger. The car is so low off the ground, no person can really squeeze underneath to cut-off the catalytic converter. I ordered a new Chrysler 300C auto that is higher off the ground, and I fear some thief may steal the converter. My auto is safe at my residence behind safety gates. I am inquiring how to purchase and install a metal plate that covers the converter. Surely a mechanic should know how to install plate. Does anyone know where online to purchase this plate?
