Should have at least painted their car; make it easier for the cops to identify them.
Thieving scum.
I visited a company in the Boise area last week that recycles autos. They hall most of the scrap cars to OR where they turn them into rebar.
They had a machine that cuts up catalytic converters and extracts the rare earth elements out of them. It also had four vacuum systems to suck up all the dust and blow it in bags. The bags sat inside a 55 gallon drum. They stated when that drum was full it was worth well over $10K. They had 24/7 monitored security in the building.
I asked what the most valuable CC came from. They said the Ford Expedition. It has two. They are both worth $850 each.
Imagine when the economy gets really bad.
