Had my catalytic converter stollen from my exhaust last night here in Sherwood Park, cops say that as of 1300hrs there were 3 reported stolen. Just a warning I guess there have been a substantial amount of thefts including from the dealer lots. They stole it from in front of the house and left no traces except the nuts on the ground. Supposedly they are turning these around for some big cash and replacement cost on these new are around $6000+. Thought it may be a good time to go delete kit but the damn warranty issue has me thinking twice for now. If ya have a welder I would tack the nuts so they either have to work harder and may get caught or the may just leave it alone.

Cheers all and happy holidays.

Whoever is buying these things must know they are buying stolen stuff, maybe the cops should focus on that end of it. If there is no place to sell it there is no reason to steal it.

Happened to my buddy's dad while he was staying at the holiday inn express in Sherwood park. 2010 dodge 3500. Looked at the security tapes and it took the guy 10 mins and he was gone. 5100 bucks to get it repaired at local dodge dealer. Insurance covered it under a theft claim.
