Tea leafs are targetting PSA cars in Surrey's car parks and swiping catalytic converters from cars.
I would imagine the cars are jacked up and they dive under with angle grinders, but how are they not noticed in a Tesco's car park???

In the case of Tesco...
Every little scumbag helps himself...
Even if it is to bits of your car
Surely they MUST be seen at it. I mean a cat is not something you can surreptitiously pop off and slip in into your pocket is it?
Bet they go in disguised as a mobile workshop and their cover is they're doing a service on the car whilst the owner is shopping. A bit like at our local Tesco a band of Poles will wash your car for you whilst you shop. Damm good job they do as well for a fiver.

Yes indeed.Cats are worth money? Damn. Didn't think of that when I took it to the local tip. If I remember correctly, a brand new cat and pipe was only around £50, could have only been a tenner down!
A couple of years ago, by careful buying and selling, I changed a cat at no cost but my time and a gasket.
