Prevent Catalytic Converter Theft

  • Park in well-lit areas.
  • Park close to building entrances or the nearest road in public parking lots. This leaves you car in a location where many people can see it.
  • If you have a personal garage, keep your car parked inside with the door shut.
  • Add video surveillance to the area where you regularly park your car.
  • Install a catalytic converter-specific security device, or have it welded to the car frame. You can also engrave your car’s VIN number to the catalytic converter.
  • Adjust the security system on your car, if already installed, to activate from vibrations, such as those produced by a saw.
