Catalytic Converter stolen outside house
- Thread starter briskiboy
- Start date
I have seen them remove a cat from a Honda Jazz in the middle of the day
Drive past look to see the way out/getaway
2 or 3 people out of a car with light weight trolly jacks in their hands ready car up, 1 under with battery saw and or battery grinder 2 cuts and away jack men are also the look outs
Done it the time it takes for me to type it up

The best thing to do here is leave your car jacked up with all Cats removed.
Opportunist criminals will be able to see your car has no Cats and will move on.
Leave nothing on show, parcel shelf open, and glove box open so they can see nothing is in either compartment.
Consider leaving the doors unlocked so they do not try to force entry. If they can get into, and see under the vehicle and it contains nothing of value, then nothing will be stolen.

We’ve been spanked for cat-converter thefts in Oxfordshire the past couple of years. Usually organised gangs from other counties.
Strange to hit a BMW though, I’ve not seen that before. Generally it’s Toyota, Honda, etc.
Sadly these gangs are damn good at what they do. Ive seen CCTV of an offenders vehicle pull up and in 16 seconds they’d had the cat off another vehicle and driven off…

No Joke, we had an email from the police about CC theft and in the message they said to leave the glovebox empty and open!!! :rofl:
Yeah, leaving the glovebox open I get. It's something I do if I park in a city/carpark. But the rest.... is pretty useless/bad advice.Deepseaskateboard said:
Leaving the doors unlocked will just make it way easier for Seamus McFaherty and Declan McDumbass to roll your p&j up onto their lowloader.
'It's loik dey wuz fekin waitin feruz ter terk it away eh Declan ?' 'Aye fekin eejits, dat wuz too fekin eezy Seamus. We'll av te come round dis way again.' :lol:
And who the jiggeryfukery is going to go to jack up and leave their car? That's just bonkers! Where have you seen this done??
