You think scrap yards follow rules? That's like suggesting pawn shop don't know they're buying stolen property a vast majority of the time.

But perfect for panicked reversing...

Offsetting penalties.

What kind of shields do they put on that aren't just as susceptible to a cordless angle grinder or Sawzall as the cat itself?

I saw an image of a "shield" the other day. It was wrapped in razor wire! Looked pretty effective!

They need to be mounted into cars with something like strut springs so that when you cut them you are liable to lose a limb or an eye.

Good squash.  I for one am glad that asshole is dead.

And engraving a VIN on a catalytic converter?  Angle grinder and 20 seconds takes care of that.  I think the more effective course of action.was already done in this case.

Edit:  Freefall beat me to every point.

I'm not a government solution kind of guy, but we had an epidemic of copper theft around here.  The, a state law was passed that if you want to sell "scrap" copper, they record your driver's license information.

Guess what?  Copper theft dropped to almost nothing.

I hate to say it, but the same thing needs to happen with catalytic converters.

Arresting those idiots doesn't generate revenue so you just have to accept it.  Just like the shit heads that steal packages off your porch.

I'm sure the scrap metal buyers who accept manhole covers, interstate light posts and guards rails, etc. will put their foot down for unserialized cats.
