Looks like the thieves jacked the car up and used a grinder to cut it off. The cuts at both ends are clean..... would have taken them a few minutes max.

No, been away for a couple of days with work.
Yeah they damaged the manifold and the mid section of the exhausts, so no mounting points to ‘bolt’ a new catalytic converter straight on.
Yeah I was just reading up about this.... the hybrids ones are worth quite a bit of money.
It’s going through with the insurer now..... I need a courtesy car for commuting so I will pay the excess (£550) and let the garage deal with the rest. I have ‘protected no claim’ on my policy so at least that’s that.
Me neither, I remember when I worked at the salvage yard about 10 years ago people would come in asking to buy used ones and get all upset when we told them we got more for them weighing them in than they would ever pay.
