If it's any use, I've got 2 genuine Omega B downpipes complete with cats that I removed from my car 18 months ago. The flanges are rusted to bu99ery, but if you've got the tools you might be able to repair them, or somehow sleeve them into place.

Thanks for the offer , i can sleeve cat to mid easy enough
problem is i need to sort the omega pronto (it's my daily )
where about's are you based ? PM a price etc please ?

video footage
not great footage anyway , cameras needed cleaning BUT i have a complete new CCTV system ,sitting ready to fit when i get chance (better video compression , better quality cameras ) sods law i've been busy and not got round to fitting it in time for the cat theft 

your Omega's alarm going off obviously made no difference at all

That presumes the power sounder/alarm horn are present and functional

Presumably you didn't hear it going off.

sounder was not connected ,BUT ...
they don't care even if the alarm goes off with siren
the bloke with a 2 foot scaffold pole is there to discourage intervention 
alarm triggers at 1 min 50 seconds ,had the sounder made a noise ,that gives me about 2 mins to wake up,dress,and get to them ,by which time ,MY cats are in the boot of their stolen Audi ?  
not sure what car it was as i don't take any notice of new cars anymore 

[dave the builder]

they are quite happy to steal cats in broad daylight too 
lots being stolen apparently .

Looks like a 2 series coupe to my eye. If that helps.

Definitely worth reporting to police, even just online, so they can do some digging. Intel is a big part of things now.

Fixed that for you 

video quality is poor , cams should have been replaced ,or at least cleaned , but that's life

No one heard the car alarm?

Sounder disconnected probably means the insurance wouldn't entertain a claim anyway.

Good  because I won't entertain making one

I would definately report it to the Police. There is some considerable footage of the offenders vehicle, and even if the reg plate (whether legit or not) could be partially enhanced, a part reg can be more important than you think. There is distinctive clothing on one offender which is also an important link, and could be invaluable should offenders be stopped checked / detained in relation to other matters. Small pieces of evidence, whilst not sufficient on their own, and may seem insignificant now, as part of on going investigation can be very relevant.

[johnnydog]

Plus, as this obviously isn't a one off incident, the combination of seemingly small pieces of evidence from other similar incidents, may help paint a bigger picture to assist identifying the culprits.

Absolute parasites.

Whilst I agree CCTV at night is far less useful, it’s not automatically inadmissible - admissibility of evidence is another ball game. and as others have said, it could be the local plod are investigating a crime series of this nature, and your footage could be the missing piece. Even if faces / indexes are not identifiable, it can (and often is) be used to form circumstantial evidence, especially in a series of similar offences.

I agree - sleeve the pipes for now, and Bide your time for 2 known good, used GM cats, if possible

And not to mention that if their car was indeed stolen, then someone will be looking for it, so could potentially incriminate thems as suspects in that matter too.
