Missing catalytic converter

So we live in Minnesota and I went to where we have our motorhome stored to check on the batteries. Decided to start the motorhome to warm things up a bit and as soon as I turned the key there was a big boom and what sounded like the Daytona 500. Sure enough they got our catalytic converter. This is getting to be a huge problem at least in this part of the country. Talked to the manager and one of their trucks was also hit. There is a commercial property next door and 12 of theirs were taken. Police don’t seem too interested. Security system was not working but I don’t know what they would captured anyway. Like I said it’s winter here so everyone is wearing heavy jackets and masks. Talked to my insurance company (Progressive) and they were very nice and are going to take care of everything minus my $125 deductible. Can’t we get some laws past to prevent this???? Or better yet why don’t these people just get a job.

    We had a cat stolen last week off one of work trucks. It was off a F250 and that thing has 2 cats on it.
    It was going to cost $3200 Cnd plus install. So we just straight piped it. So we will have to live with the check engine light being on.


    Some places have inspections that you have to pass. (None in my area though) I think some of the newer vehicles will go into "Limp Home Mode" if you did that and then not run very good.
