Below are tips regarding helping safeguard your vehicles from Catalytic Converter thefts:

1. Park your vehicle inside your garage or in secure side yard. 
2. If you have to park outside, leave on exterior lights or install motion detector lights.
3. Check into installing an additional sensor to converter’s that set off the vehicle’s alarm when the thieves attempt to steal it.
4. Ask your repair shop to tack weld the nut and bolt: it helps prevent most thieves from easily unbolting the assembly.
5. Paint and/or engrave your converter with your VIN #. Marked converters make them less valuable to thieves.
