    A month ago my catalytic converter was stolen over night, however the alarm did not go off. Now that I have my car back, I am stressed that someone can steal the CC again. Is there any way I can enable the alarm to go off when there is vibration?

    Thanks for helping

    There is no tilt sensor in the alarm.
    You could try and fit one yourself if you have the wherewithal. Otherwise have an aftermarket alarm fitted.
