Catalytic Converter Thieves (grumble, grumble)

Some rat bastard hacksawed the C/C out of my old '03 Ranger 3L. The dealership wants 4 grand to replace it. Good thing we have State Farm full boat insurance on the old warhorse otherwise to Pick A Part it would go.

Mileage is just over 60k so I'd rather keep it. It tows a smaller camper with nary a wheeze and gets decent mileage on regular gas.

I wonder how hard it would be to armor up the C/C so that it would be too much work the next time some piece of shit wants to make a quick buck. A cage made of square tube with free spinning re-bar inside might get their goat when they try a Sawzall on it.
