Catalytic converter theft

Anyone here had any experience of catalytic converter theft? Are Range Rovers vulnerable? Are there any recommended security measures?

With a P400e on order this feels like yet another thing to worry about! Big Cry

I read it too just now. The bit about hybrid vehicles being targeted more due to metals corroding less is worrying. Current: Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription Pro PHEV with some optionals on top

Anything with a high ride height will be susceptible to theft

We park everything is access height, and cars parked v.close to each other to prevent access down the side of cars, just in case...

I think they just jack the vehicle up to get access.

Has anyone fitted a CatClamp or similar?
