Sounds like an opportunity to hunt over bait. Park that car in the correct location, sit back a hundred yards in another car or in a condo window, and wait for them. In Seattle thieves are not arrested under the restorative justice mandates thanks to BLM and antifa

I'd just weld in straight pipe before I'd pay $2500 for a new one... This ๐๐ป Unless where you live has mandatory emissions testing, straight pipe!

Colorado adopts California law so you cannot get a non compliant cat. No one will ship to Colorado. I would like to let the jack down on a thief but they target high clearance trucks. Running over his legs would be second. The way they do things maybe they can outlaw battery saws. After all there is a law against having starter fluid and corelle bakeware together. ( meth)
My old f150 has all the exhaust welded on and it is rusty. You can still get a CARB cat convertor shipped to Co. Thought higher priced than a EPA convertor, they are still cheaper than OEM.

I tried that on my truck and it started missing and had no power. Mechanic told me the computer was confused. Put a cat convertor on it and the problem went away.

In Seattle thieves are not arrested under the restorative justice mandates thanks to BLM and antifa I simply would not live in such a place, whatever the attractions or advantages. Government exists to protect us and our property. When they refuse to do their job, itโs time to pull up stakes. No doubt youโd be in more trouble than the thieves if you tried to stop them, just like Britain, where itโs illegal to resist criminals and thieves generally get a lecture then released. We have some areas in WV where theft is rampant, but the police will at least arrest and charge them.

If you're running no cat and have a downstream sensor, you have to install a $10 sensor spacer to turn off the check engine light...

Where my daughter lives is in the center of the square mile of all retail businesses are boarded up at the street level. When she walks to work, she goes past the homeless tents. Due to covid, she works from home [a tiny one bedroom condo on the 5th floor].

Watch and wait. When he gets it cut off, shoot him in the knee with a .22 short and watch him try to run away. Laugh your azz off, and shoot him in the other knee! Retrieve converter, drive a few blocks away, wire it into place and set up another ambush. I like this plan.

Why ANYONE would subject themselves to live in a crap, drug, and crime infested place full of liberal arseholes is beyond me! Thereโs absolutely no job worth that. Iโm guessing your daughter is the victim of some liberal brainwashing university? Why the hell would she want to stay in a place where your life is less valuable than a welfare moms next fix? Iโve a friend whose daughter is doing the same. She seems to think its some white penitence thing (and I think she likes to party)
Yours in Liberty,

Many catalytic converter thieves tend to operate in an organized fashion and 'specialize' in certain types of vehicles and where parked, and when the 'heat' starts getting too intense they back off for a while or else leave the area and start up elsewhere.
Around here they seem to much prefer stealing from business vehicles rather than private, especially box trucks. A little while back the box trucks belonging to Habitat for Humanity in a nearby town, which is located in an area with no private residences nearby, low traffic at night and minimal street lighting, had the catalytic converters stolen off them back-to-back times.

Junkers only paying about $40 a cat here
1. Typical overblown campfire fantasy hype about โthousandsโ
2. Admittingly, Tenn is a black hole of everything that sucks. Donโt come here.

Sorry to hear, Seattle is such a crap hole ain't just Seattle. They steal them daily here in Florida too. Takes very little time, makes almost no noise, yields a big payoff. Another crime and expense created by our government.

https://www.adn.com/nation-world/20...-drags-his-body-behind-truck-police-say/TACOMA, Washington โ A man shot and killed someone he caught trying to steal a catalytic converter from his truck in Lakewood, then dragged his body behind the truck to a field and dumped it, police said. The 54-year-old man was sleeping in his truck Saturday when he woke up about 3:45 a.m. because of loud noises and his truck vibrating. When he looked out, he saw a man halfway beneath his truck apparently trying to steal the catalytic converter. โHe shoots him,โ Lt. Chris Lawler said. The would-be thief tried to get in his own vehicle to leave but was unable to do so because of the gunshot wound. โThe suspect approaches him again and fires at him again,โ Lawler said. The man then used rope to tie the would-be thief to the ball hitch of his truck and dragged him to a nearby field behind some railroad tracks. He untied the body and left, police said.

How on earth did it wake him up?
Mannlicher said the gig was nearly noiseless
Must have been the vibrations

Sawzall-ing the exhaust pipe makes a bit of a racket. Cut mine out last year as it was clogged.
Unfortunately small GM cats ainโt worth much. Wouldnโt even cover a cheap flux core welder to fix the pipe.
