Catalytic Converter theft - again

Meadow

For the second time in 9 months - two different cars - I’m a crime victim again.

My old ancient Honda was attacked last March in Grierson Road, now my three year old Toyota has suffered the same indignity just a few hundred yards away. Reading up, Toyota use far fewer precious metals than they used to and the thieves won’t make much but that wouldn’t appear to deter them.

I should have got Cat protection but I was assured by the car dealer that it was highly unlikely to be targetted. Clearly they were wrong.

I’m now lumbered with a £450 excess when I could have spent no more than £200 getting protection fitted.

Get your Catalytic Converters protected.

My neighbour just off Perry Vale had the same problem. We didn’t see or hear anything, so they must be super fast and quiet. Also a Toyota, so perhaps the thieves haven’t got the message yet.
