Bait car and instead of projectiles we use exploding shit balloons.

Just let me know what voltage you need for the relay trigger and this can happen immediately. I even have plenty of projectiles. (lots n lots of steel balls)

Don't tempt me, I know with what you do based on your posts you could whistle this up in a jiffy too. 1 to 1.5V would be more than enough for what I had in mind, but setting up such things with a purpose of entrapping criminals is a major no-no. We've had one CC stolen from a vehicle already, plus my pops has a work truck we tow his brand newish Big Tex trailer around with (mid/small size Massey tractor with 6 attachments on board), a 2012 Avalanche, that's been scouted twice now, one time I caught them on his cameras in time to go out and yell at them. Buddy had gotten out of his vehicle and was looking underneath the truck parked in the street. Maybe he lost a contact lens down there....

Just tack weld a bunch of razor blades on the cat.

Some of the shit that used to come out of South Africa to stop car-jackings was wild

It was probably fake, but the flamethrowers from the running boards was a personal fave of mine

Just have it on airbags and have the airbags deflate. Done.
"Officer, no clue, must have cut the airbag wire and SUV dropped."

Another neighbour converter story; Stole the whole car and were in Marlborough mall parking lot in process of cutting cat. It was half off. Criminals not caught.

What I want to know is how big is the catalytic converters grey market that these guys keep being able to fence the things.

Look on FB marketplace or Kijiji, Alot of guys who buy them. Most are brown and don't care to check your ID. Honda cats are worth big bucks. I've been selling them some of them for 800-1100

At this point shouldn't we just cut out our own cats?

Depends what kind of car you drive tbh. Some are worth jack squat. I took them out of my personal CRV-s and replaced with cheap Amazon ones.

Don't you work across the street from Big House? I think I know what your new "job" is

Make sense. Every neighbour with catalytic converter missing was a Honda.

It's called a side-hustle.

My neighbors early 2000's Odyssey's (2nd Gen) converter was stolen the other week. Surprisingly they didn't write the vehicle off. They said it was a few thousand dollars to get it replaced.
