This is becoming a popular crime around here. And they are brash about it.

A person in our neighborhood was eating at a steak restaurant and had their two catalytic converters stolen from their SUV while in the parking lot.

When selling catalytic converters, the seller must present the current registration of the car and VIN number, and provide a current driver’s license or ID.

Happened to me last year. Honda Element. Lots of ground clearance, no need for a jack. I know of three Elements they hit in this area.

They are described as white males, who are both 6-feet tall.

Had they been black, would it have been mentioned?

6:15 am is pretty early for most thieves. But I agree.

Something tells me there are ways around that.

Funny but you almost never see suspects described as black but I gusess that would be racist.

They make protective guards you can have installed for that; I’m not sure how much they slow the thieves down, though.

Well when someone shows up with a dozen converters you’d think some questions might pop up, just saying.

My question is what/where is the black market for these stolen converters?

If the requirement worked, the converters wouldn’t be getting stolen right and left. Obviously, there is a work-around.
