Beware, there are thieves about.
At around 1200-1300 today the catalytic converter was cut off my 2001 Honda Accord Type V in the car park for a garden centre near me. My car was parked on the end of the front row in clear view of the centre's entrance.
I am gob-smacked that anyone could steal it where my car was in broad daylight and why they stole mine there; there were far larger catalytic converters on cars well away from the entrance. I wonder if I somehow offended scroats in a battered black Ford Ka Mk1 parked next to me when I arrived.
The catalytic converter isn't worth much; I can get an aftermarket replacement for £70. However, they cut through the exhaust either side of the catalytic converter which'll increase the cost considerably. What they'll get is peanuts compared to the cost to me.
I've reported it to the Police. However, recent articles on theft clear-up rates lead me to have no hope whatsoever.
If anyone gets offered a cheap cat near Redhill in Surrey then please let me know.
