That was nice of your daughter to make an involuntary donation.

catalytic converter Thieves

Every time I read about a car falling off the jack and crushing them, I think of another name added to Darwin's long list of idiots.

This happened to my dad.

He said he woke up and went to get his morning coffee and when he started his truck he almost fell out of the drivers seat the noise was so loud

Scared the shite out of him at 5am.

Can anything be done to stop this as far as things you can do to the car/truck?

Straight pipe replacement. $100.00 tops. There is no oxygen sensor after the cat on that car so no need to fool the computer.

Is this a regional thing or is happening everywhere? You damn near hear about it all damn time now. I’d be so f’n pissed.

I know

He said he had to drive a few miles down the interstate to some place that patched something or other for $80. Apparently his truck sounded like a nascar the whole way and everyone was staring at him.

He was so excited that he didn't have to replace it and hopes to get other thieves' hopes up only to ruin their day when they get under there and realize he doesn't have one anymore.

So that dumbass pulled over on the side of the road to steal it?

I wonder what his obituary said?

Joshua Larry Diehl was a hard working man who died doing what he loved. Stealing shite from people.

Bring back public floggings. Lash them till they can't stand up. The second time take a hand. I hate a got damn thief. They are the fleas and ticks of humanity and should be treated as such.

If it is any consolation the thieves might get $20 for that. According to a podcast I heard the older the cat the less valuable metals it has left.

Any of our OT car experts know if that is accurate?

At that age it was probably pretty clogged up anyway. Delete the cat or a new one, either way, she might get some extra performance out of the deal.
