I know a Nurse who works in small 25 bed hospital...in a small town.
There are camera's everywhere...outside / inside....
She left to go home...and her Ford Expedition..sounded like a something she never heard.
Found out...her catalectic converter was stolen...
Took like 5 minutes...to saw it off..and cart it off.
I don't know if the Cops solved the case...as of now.
Cat thieves are a big problem in my area too. They especially like high clearance vehicles, it’s easy to crawl under a cut it out.
A few weeks ago, I think down in orange county, a cat thief was discovered under a car, crushed. The car had fallen off the jack and killed him
