A system for deterring and tracking the theft of a vehicle catalytic converter includes sensors, an accelerometer, and a processor. The sensors detect a vibration, a shock, an air pressure disturbance, or an audio frequency disturbance at the catalytic converter. The processor communicates wirelessly with a user mobile device and arms the system if the mobile device is not nearby. The processor determines from the accelerometer whether the vehicle is moving and whether there is a change in orientation of the catalytic converter. If the vehicle is not moving and a disturbance indicative of a theft is detected or there is a change in orientation of the catalytic converter, the processor activates an alarm, causes an onboard camera to capture an image and sends a notice to a server. To avoid false alarms, the processor disarms the system if the vehicle is moving or if the vehicle engine is running.
