    Like weeds, they come back. Mine to grave legislation treating them as a controlled substance might be the way to go. After all, it has worked for the War on Drugs.

    Insurance companies pay for some maybe a lot of the thefts. Everyone ends up paying for the damage with higher rates.
    Some cars have at least one converter as part of the exhaust manifold. I can’t see anyone getting up in the engine to saw off the manifold, takes too long and almost impossible.
    Makes me want to sell my Prime I like so much. It’s a form of terrorism.

    I thought prime was less vulnerable, and less precious metals

    The same. The engine produces the same emissions when running.
    The later generations have less as engine operation was fine tuned.
