So messing around under the bonnet today and my Nextdoor neighbour pull up in his freelander sounding like a tractor, anyway, he was working at the keepmoat stadium, home of the mighty DRFC, when it happened! Shocking! Ive had a look and a good clean cut from the downpipe looks like they used a battery powered saw, glad mines so low, access is great under his freelander hence his lack of CAT! Don't know how he can prevent this happening again?? A proxy sensor alarm? Smart water?

Co2 gas cartridges under the car which will set off by movement?
Just be carefully when using the vehicle. Lol
Or, mad max type of antitheft devise?
I welded a checker plate under my rover to avoid cutting petrol pipes, as they been to easy to use for drain the tank.
Well it was when I parked my car outside my house in a chipsy area.

They, the thieving tinkers & general undesirables, tend to target the 4x4s and vans.
They quickly slide underneath without jacking it up - 3 minutes with a chain exhaust cutter - totally silent - followed by a trip down to the scrappy for £40+

you can buy a so called tamper proof cat guard but they dont seem to work as we pick up alot of superstore home delivery vans will said guard that has been removed followed by the cat
one we went to the cheeky gits had laid the guard out on the floor with all its screws to kinda look like a parts diagram lol
