An additional thought is that painting it black with stove paint may make it more difficult to find, especially in the dark when they are in a hurry.

These thieves are prepared to remove your cat quickly. They target the same few models of cars and know exactly where it is / how to access it. They will not struggle to find it because it’s painted.

What models are targeted?

All sorts, but often trucks and hybrids.

My point was that each thief will specialize in a car for a little while. You’ll see a string of thefts all targeting the same model over the course of weeks or months.
