Yesterday we reported on busses being disabled by catalytic converter theft.
It’s been a problem for some years now, given the value of the metal and how a practiced thief can swipe a converter quickly. Especially now that so many folks drive crossovers and SUVs that have more ground clearance — and are easier for a thief to get under.
Here in Chicago, I hear anecdotal reports of converters disappearing from street-parked cars occasionally.
So, has it happened to you?
Sound off below.
