  1. Article3: Globalrefininggroup.com Catalytic Converter Theft Prevention An interesting machine that works wonder for engines is the Catalytic converter. Not many people are aware of the fact that these devices are actually a store for residual precious metals like Platinum, Palladium, Rhodium and the like, which could be worth a lot of money. Many companies who sell catalytic convertors consider this as an important agenda to protect them from rust and theft. Catalytic convertors companies produce some good theft deterrent systems that can save you money and time. Now you might be thinking that what is the need for theft prevention systems and should you put extra money on them. In fact these metals that are found in catalytic converters are worth a few hundred dollars. The compounds used are precious and pricey, thus a thief might consider selling them at a lesser price to the catalytic convertor recycling centers. The thief can cut off the whole device in fraction of seconds and take it away. On the other hand, if one has to buy a new catalytic converter, then it might be heavy on the pocket, and would actually cost several hundred to over a thousand dollars. Additionally, it is disappointing to mention the inconvenience caused by abruptly having a car that is not drivable. SUVs are the cars that fly little high off the ground, and are quite an easy target to the catalytic convertor thieves. Catalytic Converter Etching is a marking on a catalytic converter that is harder to sell for scrap. One can perform the etching by on your own with a DIY kit given for example the RetainaGuard kit sold at various online platforms. This is a kind of sticker that you can fasten to any metallic surface. A stencil of unique security code is there on the sticker and a phone number of the International Security Register. Now what you can do is that, you can put a mechanic etch identification number, for instance on the car’s license plate and onto the metal. Put it in an understandable place that is good for theft prevention. The outcome of this mark will be that if someone tries to take away the converter, they the person can see it marked and expectantly can move on. Car Anti-Theft Alarm is another theft protection system for catalytic converters. The catalytic converter companies are making them in huge numbers because of its effectiveness. Ideally it is a fact that no one pays serious attention to the car alarms anymore. On the other hand it will still protect the catalytic converter from theft. The reason behind is that it will take time for a thief to take it out form the car, till then the alarm will do it work successfully and be noisy enough to make the person alert. Secure the Catalytic Converter by building a frame around it that can be welded or otherwise can be attached to the frame of the car. Protect your precious catalytic convertors by using these theft protection systems and have a safe journey.
