CAT theft

Yokohama Geolanders, Sony head unit, NAUTILUS Air Horn, DRL conversion, Rear cargo space, Elvis Bobblehead, transfer Guard, Indian hanging Elephant, Koni Heavy track dampers, Custom SS exhaust, Voodoo Doll, Adventure Rack with LED ight bar, vintage ERIBA caravan usually attached (yes it's slow)
Never seen one offered for the G3 and as the G4 is new and in low numbers I suspect it's the same story at the moment. If I had concerns I would remove it (yes I know it illegal) and fit a de-cat pipe. But I don't myself feel it's a problem on the Jimmy, more concerned about the complete vehicle being taken.
It tends to be CATs on Hybrid vehicles, the story goes they cause less damage to the precious metals within. I assume the culprits then sell the CAT back to the poor owners of the same vehicle as OEM replacement prices are very high and after market hard to get. I can't actuall see how they make much if they "reclaim" the metal if that's the goal, you need a bent metal processors for starters.
So replacent cost must be a factor, my son's MR2 is £300 to £1000 depending if you go after market or OEM, so possibly worth stealing.
The G3 is £60 after market, so I don't believe they are going to be high on the tea leaf most wanted list.
Not sure how the G4 sits ( can you get after market?), but it's possible it will be viewed as per the outgoing model and left alone.
Anyhow, if you stop them taking your CAT they are likely to remove the doors and body panels on your Defender, another source of income for these low life's. Come to think of it, how do you sleep at night?
Get a mean dog quickly!!!!
No don't, they are stealing dogs to!
Edit:
Found this, would suit a Jimmy due to ladder frame. Not sure how it would cope with a grinder rather than a saw.
