I don't want someone to put razor wire on their catalytic converters so that it slices thieves' fingers off. I do, however, wish to leave the impression with thieves that perhaps my catalytic converter is protected by insanity armor.
- 0_____0 2y agoWhen I lived in California I wrapped a bunch of chain around the cat on my truck. Wasn't actually that secure but thieves see a ton of chain and padlocks and go "ehhhh keep moving."
- kstrauser 2y agoI believe that. A big part of security isn't making your property theftproof, but making it more work than your neighbor's.

- dgfitz 2y agoIf you live in a city, yeah maybe. I have 3 removed cats in the toolbox of my truck, which I don’t lock, and neither they nor the truck have been touched. I even loaned the truck out to a rando on Facebook marketplace when I gave a fridge away, for free. Truck and cats came back

- aaron695 2y agoRazor wire is called that because it looks like a razor. The danger is about the pointy shape. I'd be careful climbing it, if you fall/slip it's way worse than barbed wire. (Not sure how to do it tactically) I don't think it's that unethical to put it around the cat if it's obvious. It might be a danger in an accident or something. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Razor_wire https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Razor_wire

- ungreased0675 2y agoOff topic, but I was very pleased with how easy a catalytic converter shield was to install on my car. It’s normally sold and installed by a dealer, but if you have any semblance of DIY skill it’s straightforward.
