For those of you who park your vehicles in remote areas while in the out of doors there has been a recent upkick in the theft of CATALYTIC converters.
It only takes a minute to cut a converter with a battery operated saws all.
Not far from where I live a gentleman had his truck parked out front of his developement when somebody cut the converter off.
I believe the current gold prices is what's driving the prices up on these.

It`s unsafe to put mail in your home mailbox and raise the flag for the postal carrier to pick it up, it`s likely to be stolen. Your vehicle may be stolen if you have the audacity to warm it up in your own driveway. Packages aren`t safe on your porch, the chances are increasing all the time that they`ll be stolen.
The moral decay is rapidly advancing to the place where nothing is as I remember it.

That sucks! It cost the builder I’m getting paid again to install another the way it works at least around here the law reads and the insurance works is laying on job not installed my insurance or myself pick up the cost once it’s attached to home it becomes the builders insurance or his cost In this case it works out to my advantage but the same law can bite you if it’s installed and the builder or home owner doesn’t pay or files bankruptcy it stays with home I can’t go repo it My only corse of action is legal and most times the bank has first rights so the trades usually end up with little to nothing One reason a lot of people ask for money down most generally that covers cost of materials |
