    From on the street right in front of my house!

    Turned the car on this morning to travel to work and there was a god awful noise. I had a quick look underneath and there was a cable hanging down? And a metal bolt with a spring on the ground?

    What next?
    How can I reduce the chances of a repeat?

    Hello get your garage to weld a iron scaffolding bar 30mm across the chassis and a smaller plate bar at the front where the cat comes down from the engine block I will update with some pictures
    They will come back and take it again don't replace it until you have the bars welded you've been warned

    I will try to rake the pictures today

    Get an aftermarket cat. There's no need for security.
    They won't steal it again because it will look different and have no value whatsoever.
