Theives nicking catalytic converters! - Sticky this pls

Police do feck all. Fair point not wanting to get a kicking. The problem that i have with all this is why do we all pay our taxes, pay our premiums, teach our children to respect one another and these low life simply feel they have a right to steel from the ordinary Jo in the street. Nothing normally happens to them because we all frightened to deal with it head on (and rightly so as you mentioned). And there appears to be nothing you can do to prevent the theft?

100% agree with you nothing ever happens its the sort of thing people like us will spend hours and hours down the pub argueing how it's wrong and they shouldn't get away with it but the outcome is always the same what can we do? I reckon a couple of grenades in each site is q good idea but don't think the police or government would agree with me. Unfortunately

most vw cats are ceramic so worthless to the pikey scum.  Its vauxhalls peugeots and fords and Rovers they target mostly. we have had about 30 nicked over the last 18 months worse night they got 8 from us and 9 from the garage next door.   they use hydrulic citting gear nicked from the local fire statio we have CCTV and the police have copies of the events happening took em about 40 minutes all wearing hoodies and what have the polic done as usuall feck all. We now park car inside based on whats the cat like if its a genuine original one insde the car goes if its had a replacemetn or its a vag we leave it outside.

However first time I have heard of it i a public car park the feckers are getting brave. If it carrys on maybe the police will actually do something about it

No so.  All Catalytic converters are loaded with small amounts of precious metals including platinum, palladium and rhodium.

You'll find approximately 3 to 7 grams of platinum in one.

That is why they are stolen.
