The people that do this type of crime know the vehicles that are easiest to strip. Older vehicles have cats that are more exposed than I’ve seen on the newer fords with turbos. Btw I’m a mechanic, not a thief lol.

From what I can see in pics of the cats on the Bronco are really tucked in there. Add the under body plates and it's almost impossible to grab and go.It's a big problem for employees that work at Portland International Airport. They watch us leave our cars in uniform and know that we'll be gone for periods of time. It has me nervous about parking the Bronco there. I've also had my gas siphoned and wish we could lock the gas cap.
Last year I took in about 15 of them and made some good money for the Bronco fund. I saved them all from cars I bought to part out over the years.There are too many "legit" reasons for having a scrap truck full of them.... I guess.

Do you have a link to how that is supposed to work because to me it just looks like a waste of money.Anyone have any experience with a cat lock? Think this would actually help to prevent theft? Probably wouldn't stop them if they really wanted it, but may deter some from even trying and just move on to an easier vehicle.
I don't disagree, because to me it looks like they could just cut the pipes like they do, and take the cat and the lock depending on how you have it attached to the vehicleDo you have a link to how that is supposed to work because to me it just looks like a waste of money.
