They should pass a federal law regarding all scrap dealers, nationwide, from purchasing more then one and requiring ID. They are stealing them from one state, where this law is in effect, then selling a large quality in another state. Example: Oregon has this law in effect. Thieves bring them into Washington state where no law exists yet.

It's one thing to steal from large corporations like Wal-Mart, Home Depot, etc. but when thieves are committing property crimes that can cost everyday people out there thousands of dollars it's a whole different ballgame. These scumbags are the lowest form of life. People need their cars to provide for themselves and their families so this kind of crime really is an attack on our livelihoods and should be considered a deadly threat. There needs to be a law passed nationwide to allow anybody armed to open fire on these assholes. Really getting sick of these criminals.

I was only there for 30mins. Every person I know that has a tundra has gotten hit except one. They even hit my coworkers 1999 ford f-150 but the crooks seem to like the tundras/sequoias the most.

I just got robbed in Dallas this is such a problem
I thought it was a federal crime to tamper with a catalytic converter. If I do it to my own car it is but, some thief doesn't that makes no sense.

Its been the law but they taking the guts out which is worth money
Maybe it's a way to get free covers to protect the catalytic converters if the citizen's are still paying for a vehicle to start with. Use the collected monies from all the crimes. It's just tooooo ridiculous 🙄 to have to live life this way. It's just my opinion.
Anything Toyota! Seems like a good market. Getting me a sawzaw Ricky Bobby!

Well not really, its anything thats easy to get to. If they don't have to jack up your car that's half the work already done for them.
I have a friend who set a boobie trap. Lol dam they will get a big shock if they try his car!!
The S.O.B stole the catalytic converter off my wife's Hyundai Tucson SUV. Three thousand dollars to replace.
So I am assuming the new model cars will be protected 🤔 from auto theft for such an expensive part of a hard working citizen for what we need to survive. A typical day. Ummmm

DONT SPEND 1000's of dollars at a mechanic!!!! You can buy an aftermarket for 100-200$, then spend 100$ to weld it on. Somone stole my cat from my prius an I had it welded on an replaced for 250! NOT 1000$!!! ITS SUCH A BIG CRIME BECAUSE MECHANICS OVERCHARGE EVERYONE

Just got mine stolen a few days ago and need 2400 to get a new one. I'm planning to put traps around my car and hope to catch one of them near by and it's going to hurt a lot.
mi car has gotten the cat stolen twice in 8 months and i stopped them last time a week ago fro the third time, cops don"t care here in Minneapolis they are intentionally let in get worse in retaliation for people calling them on their corruption and abuse they are letting crime escalade so people cry back for help , i have offered my car and a converter i rigged up with a tracking device but they don't care at all.
Where there's a will there's a WAY!!!
People buying them from crooks are also crooks.
Every catalytic converter has a serial number, so you can start each purchase, it must be with a receipt and identification from the seller to the buyer.

1980s to 2022 and they haven't thought of using newer materials for converters ? Sounds like they are decades behind yet want self driving vehicle

"Why does this ingot have the same metal make up of a catalytic converter?"
would it be a crime to put a harmful to the touch substance on your cat? just food for thought
Well now just separate the converter and sell the honey comb

This world is going to shit
The only thing you can do is catch them in the act and take care of it yourself because the police and courts will do nothing.
Cops: "They're stealing converters from the other cars.. " Sergeant: "Leave them alone, they haven't messed with the " bait vehicle". Cop: "But serg, they have taken 10 already! " Serg: "Leave them, once they get the bait car, we'll nab them." Cop: "They're gone."
Thieves are doing you a favor by adding 20-25% fuel mileage to your vehicle not to mention the new sport sound everybody loves.
They take police reports and go home
They will do it in Mexico
Great! Now they will be stealing mufflers.
If caught they will be released before he arrives to police station. Law siding with criminals as always
Best thing they can do is cancel all smog tests are run them without cats for a while
All is a show. There theft are under cover. I once saw a sheriff working with a criminal. No crime, these sheriff will be out of a job. They got to have someone doing it to cause havoc... It's politic, to pass law s.... It's all a show...
answer---nothing.
*This guy is so over dramatic, he belongs on MSNBC*
Find out who is buying them. Follow it to the source.
Allow Houston citizens to build a garage to safely store there vehicles!
In short: nothing
Thieves have no reason to live 🤬
There's nothing they can do so catching them in the act is the only way but also there's hundreds doing it also so good luck I sold my converter and saved me a headache
It's the buyers fault
Put a gps on them for tracking 🤔
