Anti-theft measures include:

Catalytic converter shields: Install a metal shield around the converter to make it harder to remove.
Welding: Weld the catalytic converter to the frame of the vehicle to prevent thieves from simply unbolting it.
Parking: Park the vehicle in a garage o r well-lit, secure areas where it’s less likely to be targeted.
Vibrant markings: Mark the converter with a unique identifier, making it traceable and less attractive to thieves.

Its important to be proactive about security in areas where catalytic converter theft is common.
