Question Lock out armor

Wondering if anyone ever made some kind of lock out armor to protect their Catilytic converters from getting cut and stolen? Mine was stolen and I'm considering trying to come up with something to prevent this from happening again. I have a couple of ideas but figured maybe someone out there might have some suggestions.

You could fab up a steel plate, maybe contoured that either welds in place, or bolts in, use a real trick fastener system, maybe like the stage-8 locking header bolt system or something??? just a thought!! Just make sure its something that will allow air to access it so the cat doesnt overheat!

Yeah I suppose, but It still is going to cost me around $375 for the Front pipe and the Converter. Hate to have someone come around again.

Move to a better city. Somewhere they let you carry your guns in your car and people know your name
