      You go to prison in California for defending yourself. Which is why, it really is in your best interest to do nothing. Having stuff stolen really sucks but I promise you, spending years in court rooms, years of legal fees and years in prison sucks a lot worse.

      No….what he means is….if the bullets hit you, you could be killed and change the course of your family for generations….or if you’re chasing someone (illegally, I’m assuming you’re not abiding by traffic laws) and they shoot at you and miss and that round sails into a 5 year olds bedroom and takes them out as they sleep (which had happened multiple times)……that risk probably isn’t worth the cost of a catalytic converter…..and I’d be willing to bet the other people impacted by your actions would agree.

      Yup. Tolerate criminals because they have more rights than the hard-working american.... even all incentives tilts towards poors/criminals... example: if you earn above the "poverty line income" then you dont qualify for medicaid(obamacare), no food stamps, no social security suplemental income, no nothing, no tax break, zip nada. All you get is get taxed until you are dead. Government needs to start incentivizing the hard-working people instead. Do the right thing darn it, dont do it to gain votes.

    In San Diego three suspects were observed under/around a car sawing off a catalytic converter, police were called and chased them in their car for a short while and upon making contact found eight sawed - off catalytic converters, several saws and tools with the suspects hands and clothes grimy with steel dust . A short time later the D.A. dropped all charges because of “lack of evidence”. This is the world that we live in, in which serial criminals are well aware of the utter lack of consequences for their violent, thieving actions and will continue to wreak havoc on our lives with impunity.

    this happened to my brother's car 2 years ago. We have a camera set up out front where we park our cars, cops showed up 8 hours later, watched our camera video, and we havent heard or seen anything happen since. You cant trust anyone to protect you when theyre not there, you have to be able to protect yourself. The only thing that we need from the cops are the law and the jail system, other than that everyone should protect their own life and properties.

When he got up he told his son you will work for "my dad for a months time" Because the money in the wallet was a months worth of pay.... Said "in my country we hardly have any thieves at all because if you steal we chop of your hand here" as he was pointing to his wrist. He went on to say "We cut the right hand off because we know thats the one you use the most and the hand you wipe your a**, so for the rest of your life every time you take a 💩 you can think about how you gotta use your left hand to wipe for stealing someone elses 💩. 🤣🤣

    “it’s not worth the property, we could replace that” interesting, I have a few people in mind that paid out their own wallet for replacement catalytic convertors that were stolen from their vehicle. Who exactly are “we”. Should have said “you could replace that” too bad it’s expensive to replace
    If I see any of these people trying to remove one from my Subaru, best believe I’m shooting.

    The last statement just goes against why you should be a good witness. Thieves got away from cops anyways.
    You have a personal firearm, the thieves won’t be the only ones shooting

    Remember that guy in the camper that caught the thief stealing his catalytic converter and f'd him up. Well the justice system punished him for protecting his property. 👏

    This is why it always baffle me when people get confused over defending property with a gun
    If people weren't out here offending property with a gun, we wouldn't have to defend it with a gun.
    That is, assuming the states/cities don't take all your guns away.
    And yes, I am implying that the only way to deal with this is to buy a gun and defend yourself AND your hard earned property.

    The license plates usually stolen. I have encountered someone stealing a catalytic converter once and thankfully he didn’t have a weapon on him he got spooked and left the area. But this is just sad.
