Want to get a hybrid but parking would be on-street. Chances of exhaust theft?

Don't know if you could purchase an additional alarm system which sets off if the car is raised off the road?

I have de badged my Auris and it now looks like a petrol version. I have also had a tilt alarm fitted.
Like everything you just make it harder for the thieving gits to steal/identify.
People still buy Corsas despite their front ends disappearing like the clappers.

I have a K-prefix petrol Fiesta with a cat. It was compulsory at manufacture and still is, as far as I know.
Also, I don't understand the last sentence.

If you leave a Corsa on a carpark where they know you will be a couple of hours, they steal the bumper. headlights and grille, as so many corsas crash and need those parts.

You won't believe how hard people will work to make a couple of quid illegally- they could earn more doing a paper round and not get arrested...

And also, because so many Corsas have those parts stolen....
