I think it should be mandatory by federal law to have covers on catalytic converters

The theives cut through those cables in about 5 to 15 more seconds. I've seen videos debunking those cables.

[@josephbernd1215]

Don't allow people to buy these !

[@Demy26]

Awesome

[@1too3fore]

Um, how would this work with bolt cutters...???

[@alainarchambault2331]

As they say, the best way to avoid this theft is to harden the target so that they prefer to move on.

@3:50 THIS is the fuqing problem..... if you come in with a handful of cat convertors, do you think that person is legit ? NO DEMAND NO SUUPLY

[@abo3mmar292]

They've stole it with the cables

Last Couple of years, strangely, the same amount of time the border has been open.

Correlation is not causation. A criminal is a criminal. The criminal mind does not care about the ethnicity of its host. Racism does not prevent crime either.

[@alainarchambault2331]

Also, this is Oregon. You'd have a stronger argument with homeless druggies doing the deed since it's nowhere near the border.

Just like this dude I bumped into the other day who tried to politicize street cleaning, claiming that anyone who didn't clean up the street of pine cone debris was a Democrat! I caught him kicking the pine cones into the sewer and said it seemed he was equally to blame...

Portland? Oh I thought that was a wonderful democrat paradise. I don’t identify as a victim of this crime, so it won’t happen to me right?
