Engine Knocking Noise

Somebody stole your catalytic converter

 

video + San Francisco = @rjparker is very likely correct

 

Please tell us the general area where you park the vehicle in the day and night so that others might avoid the same thing happening.

For general engine knocking, it would be a good idea to first check the engine oil as it may be low or empty.

 

It seems that the cops treat it the same as someone who steals an amazon box from your porch.

sorry to hear it.

what do the police care about these days? shooting people

 

Because of the paid "investigative" time off, eliminate that loophole and the number of innocent killed would go down substantially.

Also explains why every LEO present chooses to participate by emptying their magazine, they don't want to see Joe golfing alone.

 

The problem is they could go next door and find a sawzalled catalytic converter and without a serial number or other unique proof they often do not have a case.

 

True enough. Since these types of crimes are non-violent (and low chance of arrest or conviction) they are at the bottom of the priority list. Had a break in at my house years ago while I was at work. Cops told me "I should do something about that - maybe get a dog". I moved to a different town.

Cops in my town only care about one thing. Scientology. They are bought and sold.

 

I'm sorry this happened to you. I also live in CA. Got hit twice in less than five months. Sacramento. Late June and then again early Nov. Thankfully insured but out $1,000 in deductibles. Still haven't installed an anti-theft device but got some good info from the other discussion thread and will pursue that soon. Sacramento police said the number of CAT thefts in Sac is double what it was last year.
