I think most of catalytic converter thieves are guys...But, sometimes, there is a case like this...

You don’t need tools for that? Not that she doesn’t appear to have a nice set of tools, OK nevermind. Sorry.

I’ve read that catalytic converter thieves are getting more careful, and more ruthless. And by that I mean they’ll often have a lookout stationed nearby. So when you confront the thief, you might get hit with the lookout’s baseball bat, or maybe something even worse.
In this case, 911 is your friend. Call before you confront the thief.
Remember, it’s not Ward Cleaver’s America anymore.

How can she be stealing it? Don’t you need a cutter? It looks more like she’s reaching for something. Those things are welded on.
