The following topic was no longer available for writing, so we have started it up again.
https://losangeles.vivinavi.com/eb/index/-?topic_id=_widg_1a00f2dcc0a1bbf880f8a9dda39961c4fa92112005&show=all#_widg_1a00f2dcc0a1bbf880f8a9dda39961c4fa92112005

I was just about to start the engine of a car that was parked on the street when I heard an explosion and someone nearby ran to my car and said, "The converter is I think it's been stolen. It was stolen from my car last night !."

I thought I had seen a post like this on Vivinavi... So I read the past topics.
I was too shocked... The prices are the same, but it's the holiday season and many mechanics are closed... Crying
I've done a lot of research and it seems that there is some kind of anti-theft cover, but has anyone actually worn or had one installed?
I asked because it would be very painful to have it stolen again even if I put it on newly, and I wanted to know if there is any countermeasure.
In addition, the garage only has space for two cars, and with three cars, one of them will inevitably be parked on the street.

What if the use of gasoline-powered vehicles is banned ??

The ban on new car sales has not yet been lifted,
and may be overturned,
and it takes time to recharge the battery, so I don't think it will be popular.
Do you prefer automatic or quartz watches ?. I think I'll go back to gasoline-powered cars for the same thing.

↓ It is easy to understand if you look at this

https://www.ecodriveautosales.com/customize/catprotector/

Also, the next generation Prius has been announced and is scheduled to go on sale next February.
The appearance is not so good. The exterior looks like a Tesla, and I wish it looked more like a Prius.

I read the eco-drive url a long time ago and I'm sure many of you have read it.
However, "It is riveted in place, so you can't remove it with a screwdriver or anything else. Also, the board is made of stainless steel so it is waterproof and rust resistant and will not lose its strength. I especially recommend it for those who usually park on the street." and it is vague whether the CAT itself will not be cut (or destroyed), and it is worrisome that it does not mention the possibility of the CAT being stolen again.
Or, if wearing the Eco-Drive protector can prevent theft 100%, I would like to see a firm statement to the contrary.
(I don't know about Ecodrive, but there are quite a few victims who have worn protectors elsewhere and have been stolen again. )
If you are confident in your protector, it will help those who have Prius, and Ecodrive can also bring in customers. I wish I could get a note from the Ecodrive people.

The Prius name will remain
Prius = and will no longer be called a hybrid and will be replaced by Prius = EV cars.

Hybrid cars are increasingly regulated in
some countries and regions due to global decarbonization trends and other factors, and
Toyota plans to add electric cars and other options as well.
