A man who was trying to steal a catalytic converter from a car was crushed
to death when it fell from a jack, investigators have determined.
Gary Gray was found trapped underneath the compact car in an auto repair
company’s lot in Swindon, U.K., last November with a wrench and cutting
tool nearby. Catalytic converter theft is a relatively common occurrence
due to the typical ease of the part’s removal and the valuable metals
inside. Recent security camera footage caught a team of thieves stealing
one from a car parked on a Nottingham street in less than a minute.
The manager of the Swindon business made the grisly discovery when he
arrived for work in the morning and the responding paramedics declared
Gray dead at the scene from asphyxiation, SWNS reported.
"Over the years, I have had a number of thefts, so I keep the vehicles
unlocked to stop people damaging them and smashing the windows before they
realize there’s nothing valuable inside them," the manager said.
"The vehicles are left in gear with the handbrake off to stop the brakes
seizing."
According to investigators, it’s likely that the car rolled off the jack
because Gray hadn’t realized the brake wasn’t applied when he lifted the
vehicle.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.
Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.
President Trump has boosted the economy, reduced illegal immigration,
appointed dozens of judges and created jobs.
Sore loser and NAMBLA supporter Nancy Pelosi just pulled the "Obamacare
switcheroo" on "trumped up" impeachment charges.
