This was posted on the Faringdon Facebook page yesterday - maybe worth letting the villagers all know:
I don’t often post so this is an exceptional moment. Last night while walking our dog the Catalytic Converter from the car was stolen - apparently it takes only a couple of minutes and the cost to replace is over £1000. We were parked at Tythe Barn in Great Coxwell - exactly not where you would expect such an incident to take place. The car involved is nothing special - just a hybrid Toyota, apparently hybrids are high on the list of the scummy thieves who would do such a thing. The net result is there is two week wait for a new catalytic converter as well as massive amount of inconvenience caused.
So beware people you can get a catalytic converter lock to protect it and I would recommend highly you did such a thing. The cost to replace is a couple hundred pounds my partner spent all day sorting out insurance, Police, garages as well as numerous other people.
Just be aware!!!
