Prius Cat jacking caught on video.
youtube ^

These guys take less than 2 minutes to jack and remove the catalytic converter from this prius, but I think they could get close to one minute with more practice.

In the unlikely case you own a prius, think about a cage for your cat.

Would love to catch the bastards in the act and engage them with 12 gauge slug and 8-ball buck…

For some reason I thought this was about a YouTube influencer having a Pee Wee Herman moment.

I want to see a video of them stealing one from one of the oversized golf kart Teasler things.

I agree there was a lot of wasted time. The perps need to start looking a Nascar videos and mimic the crews who replace four wheels in 20 seconds or less.

Are there any devices or alarms to deter this theft?

Wondering out loud......

Don’t let your cat jack.

The Jack could, I'm, lose fluid, too. Bad seals, ya know?

Trying again without Otto's help. The jack could, um, lose fluid, too. Bad seals, ya know?

That could happen …

And it would a shame, because that’s a nice jack…

These guys need to apprentice to NASCAR. They could do it in half the time.

What do they actually get for that converter? Asking for a friend, this makes no sense to me.

I have a 2014 Jeep Cherokee with the cat as part of the exhaust manifold.

Worth maybe $1,000 last year. Likely more now.

Thrives don't need rationalizations.

Lol @ reaching for contention.

“Would love to catch the bastards in the act and engage them with 12 gauge slug and 8-ball buck…”

I prefer number 6 bird shot. At close range it will kill you most definitely. At longer range it will still be devastating and the cops can pick you up at the hospital.

Me = live in a neighborood of houses mostly on 3 to 5 acres. I have a gun range on my land. My neighbors both left and right have gun ranges on their land. There are a few additional gun ranges in our neighborhood. We shoot together at times. It is great fun.

We have no crime with the exception of stupid kids that sometimes do stupid things. I will not shoot a stupid kid trying to steal from my property. Invade my house and I will use every skill I have to kill you. I am good with firearms.
