“Alternatively, try to make sure your vehicle is parked in a garage overnight or park it in a secure compound.
“If this isn’t possible, park in an area that’s well-lit and overlooked and try to park so that the converter can’t be easily reached by potential thieves.
“You should also register your converter and mark it with a forensic marker, which will make it harder for thieves to dispose of.”
