Get a ceramic cat and they'll leave you alone. It's a serious crime that has no comeback to the thieves.

The crims can't see the CAT before they get under the car and once they are under there they will nick it and find out later its not worth much... too late for you then.  Those plates fitted over the CAT have a lot to be said for them.
Some people will only consider you an expert if they agree with your point of view or advice,  when you give them advice they don't like they consider you an idiot

Totally agree, which is why I have just had a Catloc fitted. They are extremely thick stainless steel.

This time the cat was really stolen  >:( .12 miles away from the first attempt, so probably by different people.

I know the drive will be extremely noisy, and that it is illegal but is it safe to drive the car for about 10 miles, in order to get it serviced?

I love the car but after this I'll probably sell it. Can't afford to keep replacing catalytic converters.

That’s really rotten luck, I’m sure you you wouldn’t do any lasting harm driving it a short distance.
