Whilst they were in the car?
Does mine or your car have a catalytic converter? I'm asking as they're being stolen around here

That would be pointless when you look at the rate they are being stolen in London. Even taking them in the office or home is no guarantee they will be safe

It cost me £400 fitted about 10 years ago when my cat on my Nissan was starting to go - management lights every so often (the car is 20 now). The garage were like, oh just clear the light and carry on...
Just replaced a cat on the Aygo and they are about £200 (without fitting) so some cars are using far more expensive materials in them.
You can get aftermarket 'racing cats' for cars - might just keep them legal if you find a friendly MOT garage.....

I once visited an exhaust manufacturer and the cores in the cat had to be locked in a security cage within stores for insurance purposes.
But that's nothing compared to a company that had a high temperature process that needed a die made out of a block of machined precious metal, platinum or similar. 24/7 process but on shutdowns the insurance company sent in security guards to take that die to put into a vault somewhere.
There's probably lots of companies across the UK with highly valuable and nickable things on site.
As to cats being stolen. It must be where you live. Never heard of it happening to anyone I know.

Lots of precious metals to keep the emissions down. Prius cats are very desirable, as are Honda's.

It may be the accessability of the cat apparently mine is on the front of the engine and relatively difficult to access (nissan almera)
