Did you know a thief can take the catalytic converter from your car in a matter of minutes and leave you to foot the bill? Over the past 5 years catalytic converter theft has been increasing year on year. Thieves are stealing the catalytic converter portion of your exhaust system leaving the vehicle disabled, the exhaust system damaged and repair bills that can run from £500 to £2,000 or even more. To reduce the risk of having your catalytic converter stolen, you should:
