Stealing a car or truck’s catalytic converter, which is a key anti-emissions component, has become especially problematic in recent years. Recyclers will reportedly pay $50-$250 or more for a used catalytic converter, mostly for the precious metals used to make it work, which include platinum, palladium, and rhodium. The NICB says 14,443 converters were taken during 2020 , with owners left facing repair bills that can run from $1,000-$3,000.
In addition to having a good quality antitheft system installed, preferably one that has an immobilizing and/or GPS tracking function, the NICB recommends heeding common sense to help thwart car thieves. That means always parking in a well-lit and well-populated high-visibility area, preferably with security cameras present, and keeping the vehicle in a closed garage at home.
