how much money can you sell one for? It’s seems like you could make more money for the time spent just flipping burgers

Some catalytic converters also contain precious metals such as platinum and rhodium and palladium.

Most of Bidenskyyyyyyyyyyyyyy’s illegal alien banana voters are very fond of catalytic converters. If they told the truth to the media dirtballs who interview them, they would admit the number one reason they come to America is because of the overabundance of catalytic converters just parked on the streets and in parking lots that are not being monitored and can be easily stolen.

I think it's a damn dirty shame that it's our lives that are at risk, not theirs... :(

What catalytic converters are worth the most for scrap?

Ferrari F430 (4,500 $ per catalytic converter)
Lamborghini Aventador (3,700 $ per catalytic converter)
Dodge Ram 2500 ($4,100)
Ford F250 (3,300 $)
Ford Mustang (1,800 $)

For the platinum, not copper.

Catholic priests in the USA have been going soft on crime for decades. Wouldn’t surprise me if they were voting — praying — for even more softness.

What makes catalytic converters so valuable that people would steal them?

Scroll up and read the other comments. Catalytic converters contain precious metals (platinum, rhodium, and palladium) and can sometimes be resold for thousands of dollars.

The thieves are now just shooting potential witnesses, not just those that attempt to intervene. All you have to do is stumble across the crime in action.

I’m not Pope of Jesus. I’d be fine shooting these thieves.
