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.

If you drive a Prius with the EV indicator on
is the gasoline engine not working?
I'm not quite sure.

＞ Does the Prius run without an engine ？

Does it have a gasoline engine ？ , if so, yes.

Does it run without engine ？ ? This is called a "hybrid".

Also, at high speeds such as freeway driving, the air hitting the front of the car at constant velocity is not so ridiculous, in other words, air resistance reduces the speed, and the gas engine also rotates with more power to overcome it, so fuel consumption is lower than at 30 km/h - 45 km/h. Even so, when running at a constant speed of 60 km/h, the fuel consumption is much better than that of a gas engine car.

Lies start again. Enough is enough

Most Prius owners say they can run if they run out of gas, about 2 km
And Toyota's website says


Running out of gas while driving （ Running out of fuel ） If the vehicle runs out of fuel, as a rule, it cannot be driven.
Drive battery ＊ 1 If there is some remaining power, the vehicle can travel only as far as waiting on the shoulder of the road with motor drive only. ＊ 2
However, depending on the remaining power of the drive battery, the vehicle may not be able to travel that distance, so please refuel promptly when the fuel level becomes low.
Please note that plug-in hybrid vehicles cannot continue
EV driving （ or motor-only driving ） even if there is electricity remaining in the drive battery charged from an external power source.

If the hybrid vehicle runs out of gas before the hybrid system starts, the hybrid vehicle cannot run at all.
For plug-in hybrid vehicles, the hybrid system will start if the battery is charged from an external power source, but the vehicle can only travel as far as a safe place to retreat to.
Refuel until the fuel level warning light in the meter goes out.

＊ 1 Drive battery ： Nickel metal hydride battery or lithium-ion battery. The type of drive battery depends on the vehicle model ・ year ・ specification.
＊ 2 The following vehicle types cannot run at all if out of gas.

Alphard Hybrid （ 2003/7 ～ 2008/3 model ） , Estima Hybrid （ 2001/6 ～ 2006/6 model ） ,
Crown Sedan Mild Hybrid （ 2002/10 ～ 2008/4 model ） , Crown Royal Mild Hybrid （ 2001/8 ～ 2003/12 model ）

I found this on youtube. It certainly seems to be able to run a few kilometers.

I thought the bartery was always fully charged while generating power from the engine, but it's not.
Prius is too advanced for me to understand.

A friend of mine, Neighbor, also had his CAT stolen.
It's a safe area...
He said it was a TOYOTA truck.

And I also learned that my colleague drives a Prius and is street parking without CAT security.
"Mine is fine!" he said, but it may just be a matter of time.

If the area were quiet and full of houses, there would be no such crime.

No, there is damage even in areas with only one house.
I know someone who lives in a safe, quiet, single family neighborhood, and that area has been damaged as well.
People parked in driveways have also been victimized.
You should read the topi from the beginning.

In an area with only one house and few cars on the street or parked on the street, the noise should be noticed immediately and neighbors and others should be able to report or film the noise.

I don't want to post the same thing over and over again, but why don't you read the responses?
You can easily read the news online too.
What if I write about actual damage that happened, but you don't read the responses and keep saying similar things?

Thefts only take a few minutes, so if there are no shields or other security measures in place, they will take it without caring if there is some noise. (Some people have been robbed even if they have security measures in place. \v463> Also, even if you have an alarm installed, you are still being victimized, and by the time you realize it, it has been stolen, and even if you rush to the scene immediately, you will most likely not get away unscathed, such as one part of the CAT has been severed.
Of course, some people have been caught, but the damage is still ongoing.
Even in quiet residential areas, areas known to be safe, there are victims.

This is not rare news, and I am surprised that people are saying this now.
Let's find out for ourselves.

If the cost of repair is too low, please ask if the smog will pass.
Some people try to put on a CAT that does not pass smog at a very low cost.
