Why doesn’t Ford make a catalytic cover that can be put on to prevent theft?
We live in St Louis where they are stealing them left and right
Because its not Ford’s problem to fix the lax laws and legislation around the procurement and and resale of stolen property.
As I have said before, if you expect manufacturers to take this responsibility on by building a better ‘mouse trap’, it will cost you as a consumer, even more than is currently the case with stolen converters.
