I hate some people

Started my car today and it sounded like the exhaust had fell off. I looked under the car and found the catalytic converter had been pinched. The police better get to them before me.

It's been an ongoing problem here for a while. Good news is some of them were caught recently.

Its happening everywhere.
Need to crackdown on the metal recyclers too. If they stop buying illegal cats, then they will stop getting stolen.

@Hatt94 You're 100 percent correct with that. No market no stealing. I'm in California and they recently cracked down big time with new laws. On both thieves and the "recyclers." Had to. It was out of control.

I understand that mostly Toyotas have their catalytic converter stolen. Why the gangs go after Toyotas is unclear to me.

@Thewhazzupdude I know that for the Prius it's because they use other precious metals so they're worth more.

@Ynotisay You are right that Priusus are the most victims of that crime. Are their catalytic converter different than others?

@Thewhazzupdude I'm not sure. I just remember reading that. My guess would be that they are different.

..because they would warp from the heat. They're made of stainless steel for that reason because stainless steel is extremely hard.

The police are lazy, and will make a bare minimum effort before giving up.
