Protect your catalytic converter from theft
This is a message from Neighbourhood Alert Information sent on behalf of Nottinghamshire Police

Lindsay Donnelly (Police, Administrator, Nottinghamshire)
Residents and local businesses in Nottinghamshire are urged to keep an eye on their vehicles after metal thieves have been targeting catalytic converters across Nottinghamshire.
The catalytic converters have been stolen from commercial vans and in some cases cars.
Please report suspicious activity, such as people working under vehicles in an ad-hoc manner, especially at night.
Where possible, keep your vehicle in a locked garage or on your driveway at night, otherwise park it in a busy, well-lit area.
Install an alarm, such as a Thatcham alarm, which activates if your vehicle is lifted or tilted.
Consider using a marking system to protect and register your catalytic converter.
