Catalytic Converter Theft Concerns

I'm concerned about my catalytic converter (CC) getting stolen. I'm hearing many stories where people's CC are getting taken out of their vehicles. It appears thieves are targeting high profile vehicles like ours. I know someone with a 20 year old van who went inside a store for 30 minutes and came out to find his CC gone. Is there anyway to protect our trucks since we fit the profile? I hear some shops could built a protection cage to thwart those heists.

@Urbanite

Check out 4Runner | Talons Garage, Prevent Catalytic Converter Theft | Catstrap | United States, and VIN or License Plate etching of your CAT. Pick one or more depending on your location's theft rate and wallet condition.

Talon2006 member on this forum makes aluminum transmission skid plates that have extra wings that cover the cats.

I bought one off of him and love it. Excellent fittment and it has taken a few beatings already.

Transmission Skid plates increase transmission temperature?

You can also spray paint it orange or white or some ugly color - makes it much more difficult to resell/ pass along

Apparently it’s a deterrent
