Sad indeed , between Sac and Reno I-80 thieves were stealing the wires out of the the big lighted road signs. New construction sites were being hit nightly and some had to post up 24 hr security yes in broad daylight would get ripped off too !
For some reason Toyota's were the sought after cats to steal apparently they put more platinum or ? But we had a terrible rash of thefts about a year or so around here.
Like somebody posted with a sawzall 30 seconds and they're gone !
They had a free get your cat converter engraved and spray painted bright orange/white high temp paint for awhile..
