That's a heavy duty solution, and only carries a price tag of around $150. Compare that to a $2000 repair bill for having your catalytic converter stolen.

Unfortunately, no matter how “safe” you play it, aside from locking your car up in your garage and never leaving your house for the rest of your life, there will always be a chance of this happening to your vehicle in your day-to-day life. Getting groceries? Going out for a movie? Going out to eat? Working? I just had my cat stolen off my 2002 Toyota Tacoma truck last Friday, in broad daylight, at the parking lot right outside my job (I’m a city employee here in Cerritos, CA). We’re talking less than a hundred ft. from where I’m *physically* sitting, between the hours of 9am and 2pm! Effing unbelievable. Because of these douchebags, I did not have a vehicle for the entire weekend, I’m out at least a few hundred dollars, and I have to wait until tomorrow morning (Tuesday) to have it replaced at a local muffler shop! My insurance wouldn’t even cover it (they would have if the whole damn truck was stolen though... of course)! I really do hope the law starts coming down on these scrap metal dealers accepting these stolen goods, as I believe putting a bit of pressure on them will help to deter these thieves and send a message that people aren’t taking this lightly.
