Was even questioned as to why I had a winch fitted on the front end of the tray truck once, pointed out to the RTA it was to pull heavy stone onboard as the tray is fixed not tilting.
I supposed someone with large quantities of Platinum/Paladium would attract the same kind of attention. |
Stealing cats, really going under the radar would depend i suppose on if the scrappers report sus behavior. They probably dont give half a crap aslong as the can onsell.
But really youd have to be brazen to jump under a car and cut a cat out. Grinders and recipro saws arent quiet tools, and unless its a bolt on cat, you're going to make a lot of noise. So id be interested to find out the targetted vehicles. If it just 4x4s because they dont need to be jacked to get under them, or if its a general free for all.
