IF you are going to be a thief you would make a lot more money cutting Catalytic Converters off of big trucks and SUVs. Plenty of clearance to slide underneath with a battery operated sawzall.

I have a customer that runs a scrap yard. The most valuable Catalytic Converter is on a Ford Expedition. They actually have two. Worth $650 EACH.

They have a machine that cuts apart the CC’s and puts the rare earth metals and dust into bags in a 55 gallon drum. He told me when that drum is fill it is worth $12K. The warehouse in which this machine sits is monitored 24/7 by video surveillance.

Yeah, but it’s more fun to cripple an EV charging station.

“The most valuable Catalytic Converter is on a Ford Expedition”

Just what I needed to hear...I drive a ‘14 Expedition.
