Catalytic converter thefts
For the attention of all van drivers,
We've become aware that the number of catalytic converter thefts are still on the rise. Recently, the hotspots seem to be the Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, Lincolnshire areas in particular. Thieves are increasingly targeting vans belonging to sole traders as fleets in secure compounds are better protected.
provide a strong visual deterrent and physically protect the converter.

If I see anyone under my van unbolting things I'll pretend I didn't see him and drag him down the duel carrigeway for a couple of miles!

Re: Catalytic converter thefts
My van's wired to the mains anyway. You should see the looks on the faces of the cats that pee up it!

Re: Catalytic converter thefts
I think I've seen your van around croppie - the one with the sign on the back that says: "There are tools in the back of this van, and if you're feeling lucky, try taking em!"?
