well this sucks...
woke up this morning. ate my breakfast. head to my truck. turn it on and the weirdest fucking noise is coming out. it sounded like one of those rice rockets with the high tech mufflers.
I take a look around and look underneath the truck and then i see it... actually, i don't see it. Some ******s stole my catalytic converter
take it to the shop and the mechanic tells me that auto thieves will do that. steal 5 - 8 catalytic converters a night. supposedly there is platnum inside the converters which converts some bull shit into other bull shit ??????
so if you park on the street like i do, be careful.

OK, it really isn't that funny. It's just that, well, uh... yeah, it's fucking hilarious. Sorry for your inconvenience though...
Fortunately you can just to go Pick A Part in Sun Valley and take a catalytic converter off one of the many Ford Rangers in their lot.

wtf....
Are you serious? I can't imagine just hijaking someones cat converter. That seems retarded. Although, it would be funny to see a couple of guys running down the street carrying 6-8 of those huh?

this happens quite a bit, i think toyota trucks are particularly easy. there was a bunch of these thefts mid-day in our office park parking lots a few months ago.

Happened to my little bro not too long ago -- sucks.
At least you can get a cheap universal replacement.
Maybe have the muffler shop tack weld it on to make it a bit harder to get off

Yeah my girl got hers stolen also. We were lucky enough my friend is a mazda technician and we took a cat from one of the cars that was gonna be crushed. The O2 sensors werent going off so its all good. We ended up selling the car and buting the new 09 fit though haha! She was driving a 4runner. The job takes about 1 minute to do.
Apparently in mission viejo, a dealership was hit and most of the cats were stolen out of new trucks. Those thiefs have mad balls to do it on a dealership.

I'm from Vallejo, moved down here when I was like 5...But from what I've heard and seen...Good call on my parents' part
But yeah, they get the converters for the platinum, which is more valuable than gold.
