Recent years have seen a marked increase in instances of metal theft and in particular the theft of Catalytic Converters.
Thieves have typically been targeting commercial and sport utility vehicles, with the average replacement and repair costs averaging £2500. This, as well as an increase in premiums, excess payments and lost business due to vehicles being off the road, can be an expensive experience.
A new product on the market called CatClamp has been invented to prevent thieves from stealing your catalytic converter. Its exclusive, patent pending, cable cage design surrounds converters with an aircraft grade stainless steel cable cage that’s virtually impossible to cut. Locked to the Car, 4X4 motorhome or LCV’s chassis with cable loops, it’s far too much trouble for thieves in a hurry. Typical prices range from £175 for the standard model to £275 for the MAXX version. A small price to pay considering the alternative.
