Thieves stole the catalytic converter of our 1996 Mitsubishi last year. They can do this in ~1 minute and you don't realise it is missing until you start the motor and then you probably think something is broken instead it is missing. Our car was very loud, we thought there might be a hole in the exhaust pipe. And the missing catalytic converter is indeed something like a hole. :-) And we don't use it daily, as the city I live in is very bike friendly. So our car can stand here a whole week without getting moved. Fixing it cost us I think between 700 to 1000 EUR, and I think we were lucky at that time. Because it was one of the first of the cases in our area and we were lucky to find a used one.
