Newer Catalytic Converters gone bad

Does the wife know we were possibly sacrificing her car?

 

And bankers who rob the people actually go to jail as well. If it wasn’t for stoning women for not covering up their hair it would be a pretty gold justice system. Lol

 

Yeah, I agree, when I worked AP long ago by the border, we use to have a case load on a group of cats that would roll around with a calculator, literally, not a cell phone and would grab certain stuff and stuff their pants or other garments up to just shy of the limit. I use to shake them down for everything they had, including their calculators, since I would intercept them so far away from the doors that running wasn't an option in their mind... lol.. not to brag, but I was pretty good... just didn't like the police interaction... among other things...

 

Lol

 

I agree. Our penalties are not a strong enough deterrent. I think a real easy solve would be to kill off the mineral trade. If they can't sell the metal they'll stop stealing it.

In my home town copper theft was a huge problem for a while. It got to the point where if you bring copper to a metal recycling they document your information. You are registered and your scrap sales are too. When I was a service plumber I would bring in a lot of scrap copper for beer money. Sure, some thieves would get a friend to do the fencing but it made their "job" harder and they had to split the return.

 

No, she just knew we were headed to Hawaii
If we didn't have to drop off the doggies with my sister I would have driven the VW.

 

I did mine at a small shop with a magnaflow cat where you could see the work area, no change in sound for me (4cyl) with a quite quiet cat back exhaust, but I watched the guy remove it and install it. $250 welded on passed smog flawlessly in Nor Kal

 

My oh my, Magnaflows are about $2k. BUT Hottexhaust has 20% off right now so only $1,600 lol. They'll be better than the cheapy ones I have now at least.

If I see someone trying to steal these... I may end up in prison
