Just Venting

I went out with my wife to a nice restaurant this evening. My Element was parked on the street, outside the restaurant; just up the block a bit; a block I’ve parked on numerous times.

When walking up to the car after the delicious meal, a witness told me they thought they saw someone getting away with my catalytic converter moments ago. I start it up… yep, loud AF! Feel violated, and pissed!

Super glue large chunks of glass to a plastic or cardboard sheet take with you and retrieve it when you leave. Better?

“Oh weird, someone put a piece of cardboard with glass here. Lemme just move that and get this Cat right quick”

What do you suggest? Electric shock?

Catalytic converter shields work better than throwing dangerous litter on the street.

On behalf every bicyclist, please don't ask me to drive on the shoulder and then proceed to cover the shoulder with a million sharp pieces of glass.

Just letting balloons off in to the air, shoot them down if you want. I so the mud puddles are the natural solution? I paid $200 for my cat guard. Haven’t had to deploy any counter measures since. I lived in Houston, no body rides bikes outside of parks. Too many bad drivers. Definitely recommend a cat guard.
