Catalytic converter theft, 2013 D4
My local area is seeing another run of catalytic converter thefts, last time this happened we had a Kia Sportage and that was targeted and the converter gone in under a minute - and was surprisingly expensive to replace. I got a lock after that with wire cables looped around the underside, ugly but it stayed on for the remainder of its life.
Obviously access for them under a D4 is easy with its height, but is the converter easily robbed on these too? Should I be hitting the tinterweb looking at locks for this or is it hidden away and unnecessary?2013, D4 XS

At least in one sense the images are clear enough to get the number plate , hope they catch em
See there’s a picture on reg checking , but car in that looks a gold colour so assume the car in the video has got cloned number plates

Parking up with the Disco in access mode makes theft more difficult for the scum.I was a normal heterosexual chap, but in these new woke awakenings I now identify as a Wardrobe.

Karma indeed , lets wait for his friends and family to pipe saying what a great bloke he was and sue the garage for corporate manslaughter
we get this on the railways, muppets cut through fences or climb over stuff to get on the tracks, get injured or killed (HV overhead cables and 3rd rails tend to do that) and Network Rail get the blame and foot the bill for train delays, compensation etc.2011 D4 XS 305 MY12 - gone but not forgotten
Warm feeling inside.
No effort to find him. No need to construct a case against him. No need to have it argued against by some lefty solicitor with a chance of getting off. No need to spend taxpayer’s money to imprison him because this really was his 22nd conviction for the same offence. More of this please.
Maybe there is a god?
