It's Baton Rouge. Everyone watching is probably a criminal too.

I know when my brothers Honda had his stolen it took the dude 30 to 45 seconds total. The theft was caught on surveillance. It was a team of two. One looked out they other jumped under with a Sawzall and because of ground clearance they didnt need a jack. Jumped under cut the exhaust pipe in two places and was gone.


They can cut four or five cats and flee the area within five minutes. There is no other theft like it in terms of return.

It should be completely legal to execute anyone caught stealing cats right there in the street.


The law is the law but why we can't shoot thieves just because they aren't breaking into your house with you in it is stupid.

How will metal recyclers buying converters determine if a converter is stolen?

Set a dummy car up in a high traffic area. With a bomb inside the catalytic converter. When steal it and drive off detonate it. There really needs to be more killings in this world The old saying is that there is a time that good men must do bad things. We at at them times right now.

Mine got stolen from my Tundra in my office parking lot in the middle of the day! Roofers working on the building next door did me the favor of videoing it to give it to the cops. Cops will never catch them and I have to watch the video of the scum stealing my catalytic converters!!

I eventually got the protective skids placed underneath my Tundra after the SOBs hit me a few months ago.

That's it. Have some shite welded around it to make it inaccessible.

Know how I know you have no idea how to cut a skid plate that is attached to the frame while lying on your back with a mini sawzall?


Well to start you would cut down the side of the frame not the part that’s attached to it. Jesus Christ

I don’t think that shitbags stealing catalytic converters for meth money are gonna suddenly change their ways because some schoolteacher shows them Ephesians 7:23

Put a rwmote C4 detonator in the unit. When stolen, trigger the remote. Watch news for an unexplained leveled block in North BR. Problem solved.

Here's a thought, why don't manufacturers design vehicles to make them harder to steal?

Start treating garbage people (thieves) like regular garbage.


Dispose of them.
