If you’re parking it outside, I hope you’ve protected the catalytic converter.

Theft of catalytic converters isn’t a major issue in my area.

Might as well get a garage to weld on a cage driving such a notorious car. It might not be a major issue in your area, but you might one day park somewhere where this does become a major issue.

I thought so too, but a neighbour had theirs stolen 3 nights ago.

I looked it up, it's 500-1000€ just for the metals. It's a wonder people aren't stealing them more.
