I have seen many reports of catalytic converter thefts from vehicles parked at businesses. I'm not sure what business parking areas might be prone to this, but I suspect it may be in larger shopping areas after hours or perhaps in employee parking areas in rear parking lots that are not well monitored. The theft prevention tips shown here would be mostly irrelevant in these cases.
Security cameras may help, but they would have to be placed in areas where such incidents occur.
