‘20 years to life!!’
Ha!!
I’m joking about the length of sentence, But some states are getting serious. The South Carolina House, for example, has approved a bill that would make buying or selling stolen catalytic converters a separate crime that could bring up to three years in prison.
In Seattle, which averages 7 stolen a night, under the new measure in voting, the crime for stealing a catalytic converter will be upped to a Class C felony, which means thieves can get up to 5 years.
Sentence lengths and fines have been raised by Michigan, Indiana, Missouri and Hawaii to name a few. They are getting serious. But until they just shoot them the price of platinum will be a real teaser for them.
