Kent Police are warning owners of Sprinter vans to be on the lookout. Apparently they are top of the league for Catalytic Convertor thefts in Kent. Thieves have the removal process down to a fine art. Sprinter vans, it seems, are easy targets well suited to this type of crime.
 
We had one done just before Christmas, managed to get part off eBay but it still ended up costing over £900 fitted, we had 4 crafter vans done mid summer at a cost of almost £2k each...everything is locked away now!
 
done

Thanks. Quite a lot of talk about it on the motorhome forums. As I understand it, quite a lot of thefts from Fiats too!.

Not just Kent, i work in Cheshire and its a massive problem here as well, we have had courier firms and the like loose 10-15 cats in one night (all sprinters). All down to how easy they are to get off and the scrap value..
