Sorry about your truck, but once you get Texas tags, criminals assume you are armed and think twice.... or at least they better! In Texas, we don't usually call 911.

Got the truck back two days ago and they tried again last night. Luckily the dealer welded most the nuts this time or else it would have been gone again!

Welded most of the nuts Ron? Do you mean really welded? How will they come off if need be? - Bob

Dont they make some sort of cage that you can get welded around the converters that can be cut off without damaging the converter ? Seem to remember some discussion on this topic.

Are you kidding me? Is that a Texas thing? I haven't heard of that happening around here, but I suppose a big truck makes it easier to grab. That's just crazy.

No, not just a Texas thing. Trucks are good for converters ($) due to ground clearance but gas (from tank) is a going thing too especially when prices spike.
