Local heating and plumbing company was recently hit by thieves. They broke into a shop which housed the work truck with the keys in it. The thieves fill up the truck with copper and tools. The police found the truck awhile later an hr an half away cleaned out. Even the ign key was gone. Well after finding a new key the initial start up they were surprised with a new aggressive exhaust tone. Yep as a good guess the cats were cut off too. That was my job today was to install new ones. Bad enough replacing one or two cats a few yrs ago was expensive but now the price of universal cats have tripled and quadrupled. Frustrated to think the thieves will prob make pennys on the dollar vs the loss of this company has to take. Sure their is insurance, that doesn’t cover everything. Almost forgot a week later a business a few blocks away got hit similar.
