Just a heads up for anybody traveling thru the Toledo area, heard on the news last night that scrap metal theives are stealing catalytic convertors right off of vehicles in store parking lots while people are shopping now. And city leaders wonder why the city's population keeps dropping....

yeah thats been happening for over the past few years.It is just going to get worst as the economy drops

If you catch someone under your car just get in and drive over them.

That's insane...

I've never heard of that before...

Ha, I have that problem solved.....I don't have a converter.........

I have it solved that I lowered and now way to get to it unless they are jacking up cars. I'm thinking they are going after SUV's and trucks cause they are easier to get to and they tend to have bigger cats. These people are going to be saving money on gas now with an open exhaust. They should be happy right.

Yeah its more with the Jeep jerokee's.. They have copper or something in their cats and those are BIIG targets.. Especially here in Columbus.. This started early last year with that crap.. Freakin rediculous.. My co-works brothers Jeep got jacked for its cat convertor.

Btw, if they wanna try to jack my catylic convertor, they will be in for a big surprise if they can look up under there HAHHA,, I dont have one!!!!! .. bastards!!!

Its not the copper, its the platinum.

around here in north east ohio the scrap yards quit takin them for this reason, one of the car lots had 75 cats takin off their trucks and SUVs



simple minds talk about other people.
average minds talk about events.
great minds discuss ideas

haha good luck even seeing mine....thats one thing thats unstealable.....i always used to leave my keys and @!#$ under my front bumper when i went swimming and @!#$..cause i could reach around my tire and lay the stuff in the bumper and no one would be the wiser since i was just "tying my flip flop"..haha

actually, it's probably the Rhodium. I think it's up to over $9k per ounce now.

platinum, rhodium, ....and i also heard tungsten was used in cats also..?

all high speed metals, a co worker of mine got busted for this, and stealing $30k worth of copper also, was on channel 9

i think the i got an email from OSU about this recently. oh well, my car is too low to even try to steal it.

Thanks Shane for the correction

yeah I got that e-mail too..I'm waitin to jump in my car one day and start it up and just hear open exhaust right under my ass..

that's so random. i don't live in the area, but i'll definitely keep that in mind.

Maybe I should go to toledo then...I've been haveing cat problems, they'd be doing me a favor stealing it...
