Catalytic converter theft has become a growing issue in many parts of the world, including Pakistan. The converters contain precious metals like platinum, palladium, and rhodium, which can be sold on the black market. Here are steps to protect your Alto Lapins catalytic converter:

Preventive Measures Against Theft:

Park in well-lit and secure areas: Whenever possible, park your car in a garage o r in areas with high security and good lighting. Thieves tend to target cars parked in secluded o r poorly lit areas.
Install a catalytic converter lock o r shield: A lock o r shield can be installed around the catalytic converter to make it more difficult for thieves to remove.
Engrave the vehicle identification number VIN: Some car owners choose to engrave their car’s VIN number on the catalytic converter. This makes it traceable and harder to sell.
Alarm systems: Install a security system o r motion sensors that can alert you if someone is tampering with your vehicle. Some alarm systems are designed specifically to detect vibrations, such as those caused by a catalytic converter being cut out.
Solution:

Use additional security measures: Consider adding an anti-theft device to the catalytic converter.
Monitor the cars surroundings: Be cautious of where you park your Alto Lapin, especially if it’s an area known for such thefts.
