I'm trying to replace my 15-year-old car. I took time off from work to do this, and have made ZERO progress... because I'm stressed and overwhelmed and horribly indecisive, apparently

A previous neighbor had a CRV, and the catalytic converter was stolen from the car TWICE, while parked in front of our homes!

It's made me a little nervous about getting a small SUV, even though that's what I'd prefer, I think.

Has anyone else had problems with this? I've tried looking up what cars/SUVs are most likely to be targeted (and haven't found as much as I'd like), and which cars/SUVs have changed their designs to make it harder...

But gosh, there's not a lot of info out there.

It's such a crazy thing to have to worry about. But, I'd love to hear if anyone else has experienced this, or know people who have.

Thanks!
