Cat Converter Theft
#5
Yes, it's the platinum, and/or other catalytic metals that they're after, but they only get from $25 to $100 dollars selling them to recyclers. Whether here or on the mainland, I don't know, and why law enforcement doesn't crack down on the recyclers (receiving stolen goods), I don't know. All I know is that the puny amount their efforts get them can easily cost a car owner $1000 to repair, especially if you go with an OEM converter. Aftermarket ones can be much cheaper. I'm thinking of just having a pipe welded in its place, since there are no emission checks here (though I have heard that it's technically against federal law to remove your cat).
