The vehicle was lifted up on a ramp today throwing some light on the matter. The 'thing' left hanging off was the mid-section silencer. The catalytic converter was embedded in the missing length of pipe.


So this was a straightforward theft. A nice little earner for the thief given current precious metals prices and a ?500 repair bill for the owner.

?500 for a new catalytic converter and exhaust? That's seems very expensive. It was much less when the cat and exhaust on my wife's C3 were replaced. The cat itself was just ?80 for example. I go to a very good local independent garage.

One would expect that you categorise yourself amongst the 'lovely people' on this forum

Better to have some light hearted humour than Daily Mail ranting I say. Theft for selling for scrap has always happened (no excuse of course). Lead of church roofs in my childhood. Controls on scrap yards may reduce some of the resale market.


You can hopefully get an indie to do it fairly cheap or even DIY.

I know Peckhamgatecrasher, and yes they are lovely.


Just because somebody makes a (clever and funny) joke doesn't mean they find vandalism amusing.

    • Naaah, it's rubbish - it would be a change of use so would need planning. https://www.planningdirect.co.uk/planningappeals/affordable-planning-applications/change-of-use/commercial-to-takeaway-change-of-use There's not enough footfall for a McDonalds, anyway, and they're quite picky about their sites 
    • So let's never do anything that might improve an area, because it will just be dragged down to the level of what's presently there? Is that what you are saying?
