Man stops in traffic to steal parked car's catalytic converter

This is UK. Driver was in driver’s seat. Open door was passenger side. Miscreant shown was passenger. Walking up and trying to drive it away would have resulted in a crobwar at best, a knife most likely, or a gun at worst.

Better would have been some innocent soul coming the other way in a 3 ton truck and blocking his exit not realising what was going on. I’d have been tempted to go around, park at the other end, lock the car and walk away swiftly. With my phone dialling 999. But saloon bar bravery is cheap.
