Perhaps he would have been better off spending his money on a bike instead of a cordless angle grinder 😂Originally Posted by eldrich
On the other hand where I am living a bike share company went bust, left the bikes littered around the place getting rusty, young chap w no money sees one and waits for a month, it never moves (company is bust so you can not unlock it anymore). Takes angle grinder to the lock, uses it as his personal transport, catches the eye of a couple of the local finenest. Aggravated theft (he used an angle grinder) he gets the minimum penalty - 6 months in jail or he can avoid by paying the equivalent of UKP 5,000.
No comment on his actions (theft is theft) but it just goes to show the difference between places wrt to the punishment for theft.

Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.
Buy a man a bike, he’s only only got one bike. Buy him a cordless angle grinder, he’s got as many bikes as he wants.
I hear they're the key of choice for certain sections of the community.

Seems to be getting worse. Had mine stolen from outside the house middle of March. Got the car back last week and had a Catlok fitted hoping it’ll put them off. Had the courtesy car for 3 months so the insurers are being billed for £1600 I’m told, which is more than the cost of replacing the part.
Lots of local reports of this issue recently.
One stolen at midday in our road last week, another in Hatch End last week as well, that one at 3 in the afternoon. One stolen in Morrisons Hatch End carpark,and others from North Harrow car park.
A few stolen round me in the last few weeks (Epsom/Leatherhead), they seem to from Volvo’s.
If it’s a Catloc then they’re made by my friend’s company, he now supplies direct to Toyota for a variety of models.
The theft seems to be more common on hybrids as the cat is meant to be less used on these so more sought after.
My understanding is that Suv hybrids are favorites, because they are higher off the ground so easier to access the cat, and as has been said - being hybrid the cat is cleaner.

How much do these cats sell for? Wondering if I need to branch into a new area
Do diesels have a catalytic converter or just a DPF?
I don’t think they steal to sell, it’s the precious metals contained within!How much do these cats sell for? Wondering if I need to branch into a new area
Catalytic converter
They’re still sold...
Jazz ones go for around £250. Prius about £300.How much do these cats sell for? Wondering if I need to branch into a new area
Bloody hell, no wonder they are so brazen from the vids that I’ve seen, none of this under the cover of darkness, they just pull up, get under the car and start cutting.
That's a lot of precious metal in something that probably costs ~£1000 to buy.

Another Rx400 cat bites the dust. Outside my home.
Bar stewards threatened me with a baseball bat. Just concerned they might come back for the replacement
Anyone know how good the lexus mark 2 cat lock is please?
Nightmare. Glad to hear you are not hurt.

Had mine stolen from my Ford Explorer in 2007. Sounded like a Sherman tank when I started it up:) it’s a pity scrap yards /metal merchants don’t ask questions as they are feeding this type of theft.

15-20 year old Rover V sixes are the latest target. At £400 a pop, they are worth more than most of the cars!
