If an engraved catalytic converter is stolen and then recovered, police can track it back to the owner and find the thief.KIRO 7 has reported on converter thieves who are getting more brazen and violent, even stealing them in broad daylight in just minutes. “It’s a real shame.

So sad that this has to be done …. Is there no bottom thieves will not cross.
