Not only did someone break into my car, but this morning I go out to my truck and when I started it up it was stupid loud like it had straight pipes...

I was like....

get under it and notice my catalytic converter's been stolen.

 

I've seen that before. I saw a truck that someone stole the driveline out of.

People are dicks.

 

Now I put my subi in antitheft mode whenever I park and I'm putting a kill switch in the truck

I'm also thinking about a pager alarm for both vehicles.

 

Catalytic Converters are worth big money if recycled. People actually steal them all t he time.

A cordless sawzall and 10 minutes could score you 50 bucks or more.

 

People are stealing drivelines out of trucks now? I thought that only happened in Suby's.

 

WOW - WTF - this is in Berkeley?

 

I live on the Oakland/Berkeley border, but its right off of telegraph so its pretty much Berkeley.

 

Yeah, I'm hoping they pass some ****ing legislation so people who bring in cats have to leave an ID

 

recycling centers dont take cat converters anymore though right?

i remember reading somewhere that they didn't accept em since the theft and whatnot.

 

I was just talking to a friend who just sold his spare cat for 75, so I dunno

 

This is why we take the cats off before people can steal them



hypothetically...

 

well I just got a truck a month or so ago, so I hadn't gotten that far yet hehe

 

dang has it even been a week since your car got broke into? I do wish you the best but watch out things tend to run in 3's..

 

Its been 3 days since my car got broken into.

I'm counting the fact that I had to drop some classes as a result of my books being stolen as the 3rd.... but anyways I'm considering waiting on my new rims and getting a springfield XD40 sooner than planned.

 

yeah sometimes you have to put off things you want for the things you need. Really sucks people have to take what we all worked hard for.
