# Antitheft Vehicle Component Devices The 'Catstrap' Catalytic Converter Antitheft Device is Strong By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2022-01-20 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/catalytic-converter-antitheft-device References: [gadgetify](https://www.gadgetify.com/catstrap-catalytic-converter/) & [catstrap.net](https://www.catstrap.net/)  Catalytic converter thefts have become more commonplace in recent years, so the 'Catstrap' Catalytic Converter Antitheft Device is intended to provide enhanced peace of mind for drivers when it comes to protecting their vehicle's components. The simple yet effective strap works by being positioned across the exhaust system and will prevent thieves from easily cutting through it. This could help to considerably slow down thieves thanks to a series of aircraft-grade steel cables that are hidden inside the interior compartment. The 'Catstrap' Catalytic Converter Antitheft Device is available in a bright orange color to help convey to thieves that the vehicle is protected. The unit can also be used with the Sonic Shield Cateye to disorient thieves using a 130 dB siren. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 38% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 11% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Antitheft Vehicle Components:** Security measures for car parts such as catalytic converters have become increasingly important as the need for antitheft devices continue to rise. - **Enhanced Vehicle Security:** Companies that create solutions to protect cars and their parts from theft will continue to drive innovation in the automotive industry. - **Sustainable Transportation:** Technologies that increase the lifespan of car parts, such as antitheft devices, are crucial components of creating a more sustainable approach to transportation. ### Where This Applies - **Automotive Security:** Creating antitheft solutions for car parts like catalytic converters and other auto components presents an opportunity for companies in the automotive security sector. - **Automotive Manufacturing:** Providing integrated antitheft solutions within the manufacturing process of automobiles offers a new approach for companies in the automotive manufacturing industry. - **Insurance:** As the rates of car part theft increase, the demand for increased coverage and comprehensive plans by insurance companies could become pivotal in the automotive insurance sector. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Anti-Theft Car Immobilizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/antitheft1.md) - [Anti-Theft Backpack Straps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loopit.md) - [Antitheft Car Key Carriers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/car-key-faraday-shield.md) - [Theft-Thwarting Laptop Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laptop-lock.md) - [Vehicle Security Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vehicle-security.md) - [Alarm-Equipped Laptop Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/antitheft-laptop-device.md) - [One-Click Car Protection Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/car-safety-device.md) - [Anti-Theft Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unsnatchable-phone-case.md) - [Protective Premium Watch Clasps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/watchlock-clasp.md)
