catalyst theft - non Seven

[Stuart Giles]

I tack welded a length of 8mm black steel bar along the each side the pipework of the new cat on a mate's pickup. That should prevent the use of a circular pipe cutter to remove the cat. In said mate's case, the thieves also took the oxygen sensor in the original theft, the replacement of which bumped up the repair price even more.

IMO, only established vehicle dismantlers should be legally able to weigh in more than one Catalyst at a metal merchant. The metal merchants must know what's going on when one of our 'travelling friends' arrives with a pile of Cats to cash in.
