Thefts of Catalytic Convertors

I have been a victim of this crime and a replacement catalytic convertor for my Fiat motorhome was £800. I have looked into the various prevention devices currently on the market and remain unconvinced by all of them. They will only delay the theft at best. I now remove my convertor after every trip and it only takes 5 minutes. A thief takes less time as they just cut them off with a chain cutter, silent too.

We have had problems in the southwest, motorhomes are particularly vulnerable. Thanks for the reminder.

The Police arrested two lots of Pikeys outside Market Harborough the other week from a roadside check on the A6 . They were just checking vans and lorries. Opened the back of the vans these jokers were in and found stacks of the things.Batteries too. There had been a whole spate of thefts of CC's in the Harborough area. I would love to think this would put a stop to this despicable crime but I have my doubts!

I think you would have been better posting this in the Tow Car and Motorhome sections of the forums rather than here.
