Protect your vehicle:
1. Park your vehicle in the garage or park in well-lighted areas.
2. At shopping centers and other similar parking lots, park close to the entrance of the building, or near the access road where there’s a lot of traffic.
3. If you own or work at a business or factory, park within a fenced area that’s busy during the day and secured at night.
4. Engrave your license plate number or driver’s license on the converter to make it traceable. This can act as a catalytic converter theft deterrent and help with local police investigations.
5. Purchase a vehicle security system, and make sure its set to trigger with just the slightest motion.
6. Visit a local muffler shop and have the converter secured to the vehicle’s frame with a couple of pieces of hardened steel welded to the frame.
7. Check out the different types of catalytic converter theft deterrent systems at your local auto parts store or on the Internet.
8. If you see suspicious activity on a driveway, next to a vehicle immediately call for a deputy to respond. Non emergency 874-5115 or emergency 874-5111.
