It would appear that various gangs are scouring the country and stealing from vehicles, but not in the ordinary way of breaking in and stealing items inside the vehicle.

Instead they are coming with battery powered angle grinders loaded with slitting discs, they crawl under vehicles and cut out the catalytic convertors as they are now very valuable with scrap metal prices being so high, the cats contain various precious metals such as rhodium and platinum, so are worth stealing. 4X4's appear to be a prime target for this type of theft, which is on the increase, because they are much more accessible than ordinary cars, due to their additional ground clearance.

What a pathetic thing to do. The problem is unless you have a garage, or someone looking over it 24/7 there is not much you can do. Glad none of my cars have cats!
