Idk what to do about my catalytic converter being stolen. I did do the only thing I could think to do. I went door to door to every apartment in my complex. I told every single person who answered about my problem and what to look out for. I told management. I told the police. Anyways. I feel a little better. Now I have 100 eyes and ears paying attention. Everyone’s paranoid now. Tomorrow and the next day I will go to the last buildings. I only had one door shut in my face which is pretty good considering. She thought I was a salesmen I guess. If there’s one thing we need more of it’s community. Everyone can unite behind not getting your shit stolen.

Do a quick search on this problem. It’s happening everywhere. Everywhere in america. Happening all over the world. It’s happening in parking lots. It’s happening in garages. It’s happening at peoples work place. It’s happening to car lots. Hell some people run inside to buy some groceries run out and it’s cut off. It’s a fucking epidemic. Look up the numbers. In every city it’s through the roof. One of these cities one year there were maybe 13 reported stolen. Next year 22. Next year 200 something. Next 800 something. It’s rocketing up everywhere. It doesn’t matter where you are man. It’s takes two minutes and you’re out at a minimum your deductible

Yeah, that’s terrible. I feel for you. I’m lucky enough to live in a white neighborhood with a a garage.

I’m gonna look into getting a house my Lease is up in December. All I want is peace of mind. I hate how you can go through life doing nothing to anybody and people just throw shit in your face. I’m fucked on this car no matter what. Best case scenario I pay the deductible they fix everything and it never happens again. But what if it does. It’s amazing how bullshit just happens over and over and these low lifes never have to face consequences. I bet they collect a welfare check too.

I believe we’ve all been there at one time or another. I’ve had shit stolen, I’ve had people harass me, I’ve been accused of shit I didn’t do, etc. It all sucks. Just leave us the fuck alone. It’s not that difficult of a concept. Good luck, man.

Told you mate. Spend 20 bucks on some parts like i suggested and save up money to fix it right.

Depending on your state and your car you could have it straight piped look into it cats are not always needed but if your car is too modern it might need a software tune to bypass the CEL that will forever glow in your farce. Some cars will go into a limp mode too. But consider not putting on a new one as a solution.

My sister lives in dc. One time some people broke into her car. Didnt steal anything. They just hot boxed her car. They did leave behind an empty can of grape soda. As one of my black coworkers said. “That was niggas”

It’s funny cause a couple weeks ago I was looking up random videos and this exact problem came up from a Houston news clip. Catalytic converters being stolen. They show the statistics, I was like damn. It’s going way up way fast. I didn’t think much of it though. Then it happens to me. Then I tell a couple people and it’s happened to them. Even when I went into my apartment office to tell management, two guys who are working at the place both had theirs stolen off their personal and work vehicles. It’s a problem. I think there’s a bunch of people on here blowing it off and I guarantee it’s gonna happen to them. Cause this is a big problem now and it’s only gonna get worse and worse. That’s why I told my neighbors. Idk what else I can do. Better that they know what to look and listen for…..I’m so frustrated with it all. Just trying to make an honest living while these scum bags fuck me out of who knows how much money in the end. I can’t even eat it’s got my stomach sick

Make shops record the driver's license and quantity for purchases of used catalytic converters.

They are scrapped for the precious metals.

Exactly. The thieves aren't melting them down. They're selling them to shops.
