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.

Some Accord, Camry, Civic, and Corolla's from 2010 onward have them right behind the tacho foot or integrated, and you have to stick your hand deep into the engine compartment to remove them. Newer models also have inexpensive sub converters that cost around $200 new, and they are visible from under the car, but that is not what they are after, the main expensive catalyst.
＃ Amateurs like 47 and others often mistake it for a catheric converter.

With the Prius, you could save on gas and you could buy a muffler.
How about a new car? ？

How about a new car? ？ but
how long will they sell the Prius since it is not classified as an EV car?

Until the final deadline, gasoline-powered cars bought just before the deadline are sure to fetch a premium and sell for a high price.
