Tips to prevent catalytic converter theft:
- Get your converter etched or engraved with your information. Thieves like to steal converters and sell them to scrap yards.
- Park your vehicle strategically, in a well-lit area and use a secure garage when possible.
- Make use of a car alarm system if possible.
- There are catalytic converter theft prevention kits on the market that create a cage around the converter, making it harder for thieves to steal them.
