Prevent catalytic converter theft on your vehicles

According to the Houston Police Department, catalytic converter thefts in Houston have increased by 300 percent this year. They are stolen mostly from these vehicles: Toyota Prius, Tundra, Tacoma and Sequoia; Honda Accord and Element; any light diesel truck with a DEF; and Ford, Chevrolet and GM trucks and vans.

What makes them valuable? The metals inside the converters, including platinum, palladium and rhodium. Thieves can remove the converters from vehicles in less than two minutes. Repair costs range between $3,000 and $10,000.

To prevent a catalytic converter theft, follow these tips:
• Park your cars in your garage.
• Etch your VIN number or license plate number on your converters.
• Install a skid plate or large cover on both of your vehicles.
• Upgrade your car alarms to those that activate when your car is jacked on one side.
• Consider aftermarket products such as straps or cages to make theft difficult.
• Spray paint your converters with bright colors.

Are you ready for severe weather and hurricane season? Remember the flooding caused by Tropical Storm Imelda?

Hurricane season runs from June 1 – November 30. Be prepared by:
1. Downloading the free TranStar mobile app at the Apple App Store and Google Play to receive alerts.
2. Preparing your vehicle for an evacuation. Keep gas tanks at least half-full throughout hurricane season and keep your car or truck well-maintained. Only evacuate if instructed to do so by local officials.
3. Maintaining an emergency essentials kit that includes a week's supply of shelf-stable food, water and medications and make plans for your pets.
4. Purchasing flood insurance.
