There may be hope-----
Here's an article describing a nationwide 'bust" of a Cat Converter theft ring.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime...7396baf3a4720c
Probably not much solace for those who were victims but perhaps some satisfaction knowing that at least one law enforcement organization is doing something.
Obviously this was a problem far larger than just local recyclers turning a blind eye when someone showed up with a converter. Instead a huge organization operating on a national level.
Will it stop the problem? We can hope and will have to wait and see.

Read the article and I started scratching my head. They wrote that they can be sold for $1,000 each? They don't cost that much new.

I looked up Cat costs for cars/trucks yesterday just for the fun of it. Be glad you don't own one model of Ferrari. The Cat on it costs $3700+ ---------- and it uses TWO
One comfort though is that that car is so low to the ground it would take a "Flat Stanley" to slip under and saw them off. Then the Cat's are probably too large to slip out.

If I could afford a Ferrari, the CAT's wouldn't be under there to steal!
