Catalytic converter stolen
« on: August 22, 2019, 10:33:37 PM »
Hi guys and gals
I recently had my catalytic converter stolen, cut off with an angle grinder whilst parked in south London. When I watched the CCTV footage, I was surprised how quickly they got it off and it appears they followed me into the car park, so clearly targeted the car.
After a bit of google’ing, I found Honda Jazz’s are targeted as they are easy.
How common is this? Has anyone else experience this?

Sadly, it's becoming all too common.

Have a read of the thread below, and in particular the last comment by JimSh, who I think meant to put it on here.

Cat prices are up, and the old Jazz one is particularly easy to get at.

It must be bad if the BBC have finally caught up.

It is getting to the point where I dread going out to the car at 0430 to go to work in the morning to find mine missing!
fingers crossed eh?
