Catless is best

three of my friends that drive different types of cars all have their catalytic converters stolen. Unbelievable what's going on out there. So hurray for those that are running catless.

It is the new scam, kind of like the air bag theft ring that was going on in New York.

i cashed in $600 of copper from my friends farm in MV. and they were like is this stolen, we were like no. and thats it. cool story huh

they need to come up with a better way to weed out criminals, like showing photo proof that you took down the wire and where.
