And another.

Catalytic converter Theft: Precious metal prices are on the up thus so are cat thefts:

I'm sure 'Dunkin Biskits' won't mind me paraphrasing his words - The cat in some 850s is worth a heap of cash.

At the dawn of catalytic converters we weren't sure how much precious metal to use. Too much was put in, hence the high scrap value of these cats. Current going rates;

Stamped Holland - £70 pound
Stamped Sweden - £100 pound
Unstamped OE factory fitment - £185 pound

They have them off in minutes. Some of us are fabricating cat-guards.

JJDI's Tip made me chuckle;

Badge you car as Diesel . My 2.4 has a D5 badge . Might not work if they're super bright. Most thieves are thick as poo
