You don’t need tools for that? Not that she doesn’t appear to have a nice set of tools, OK nevermind. Sorry.

What would happen if a dozen of these people got shot, trying to steal these converters?

I’ve read that catalytic converter thieves are getting more careful, and more ruthless. And by that I mean they’ll often have a lookout stationed nearby. So when you confront the thief, you might get hit with the lookout’s baseball bat, or maybe something even worse.

In this case, 911 is your friend. Call before you confront the thief.
Remember, it’s not Ward Cleaver’s America anymore.

Why are they putting out a “wanted” ad on her? She won’t actually get prosecuted, so why are they wasting peoples time?

Also I found this.....

1987–2019 Toyota Camry.
1997–2020 Honda CR-V.
2005–2021 Chevrolet Equinox.

How can she be stealing it? Don’t you need a cutter? It looks more like she’s reaching for something. Those things are welded on.
