this has been ahppening for a long time, welding a bar on the bolts is pretty useless, it prevents us from working on our own trucks if ever we need to. you can also bet a thief can just cut them off, depending on the tool, it can be done quite easily and quiently very quickly
try hooking up a can of pepper spray on a line to your cat. that way when the theif starts pulling on it the pepper spray will get em.
Somehow I see bad things happening to a pressurized line under high heat guess you could hook the exhaust system up to a wire running from your battery to a switch in your dash. It'd be a drain (dunno how big) but could be a experience for anyone cutting on the exhaust
I like that idea! lol I just put a little bead on the flange so that way I can just take a grinder to it real quik if I ever wanted to take mine off.
That's just the thing - These guys aren't even worried about flanges, they just crawl under your truck with a sawzall and chop it off. Then they don't have to worry about rusted bolts or anything sticking or stripping. They definately have some huevos making all that noise and not getting caught. I mean, I could see maybe a pipe cutter, but they are definately using sawzalls.
Theives count on our laziness. Years ago my brothers corolla and my pickup were parked next to each other and both were broken into. Their means of entry were two big rocks which made enough noise for somebody 3 duplexes down to hear while she was outside smoking, she was just too lazy to look further than her cigarette.
Pretty crappy that law enforcement can't find who is buying this stuff -it's all supply/demand:(
