A partial-length skid that covers the cat plus exhaust pipe---either cat plus front pipe OR cat plus rear pipe--- would prevent theft by the common sawzall method, right?

That could work. I've also seen people weld rebar directly to the pipe leading to and from the cat, usually 2-3 pieces on each section of pipe. Turns a simple sawzall cut into a very long, loud and potentially unfruitful cut.
Parking it in a private garage or enclosure is still the best way to protect it. It still baffles me that in my neighborhood people will park their $30,000 worth of vehicles on the driveway and store their useless garbage and old furniture in their garage.
