Less common than in some global markets, but starting to increase:

Catalytic converters contain platinum, rhodium, and palladium, making them valuable on the black market.

In cities like Karachi and Islamabad, occasional thefts from parked cars are reported.

Changan Kalam, being a sedan with accessible underbody, could become a target in low-security areas.

➡️ Consider parking in secure areas and installing anti-theft guards if theft is a concern.
