I’m starting to get really worried about catalytic converter theft. I mean, who would have thought that was even a thing? I once had a friend who got their converter stolen right from their driveway, crazy, right? I’m looking for recommendations on the best anti-theft device out there. Something that’s actually going to deter those thieves

Hi James,
Catalytic converter theft is on the rise, but you can protect yours by using a shield, etching your VIN, parking in a garage, installing motion-sensor lights, security cameras, and car alarms, and parking in well-lit areas. Combining these methods reduces theft risk

To protect your catalytic converter, consider installing a catalytic converter shield or cage, which makes theft more difficult. Park in well-lit areas or secure lots, and use a vehicle alarm system. Engrave your VIN on the converter to deter thieves and increase recovery chances. Regularly check for signs of tampering or damage.

Consider installing a full-vehicle alarm system or a converter-specific alarm. These can deter thieves by sounding an alert when tampering occurs.
