They had a huge story on the local news about cat. Thefts. The thieves can get $&350-$400 per cat. They even had a "reformed thief" on the news that showed with a saws all he got one off the car in 7 Seconds!! 

At the end of the story they advised us all to get our vin numbers put on the converters, the scrap yards won't buy them then. I think the reason they get so much is they have platinum in them.  Sorry it happened to you, thank God for my garage.

Yup.  I had 4 cats on my car.  Cut them out of the stock exhaust (took way over 7 seconds though since my stock exhaust was thick steel...broke 4 sawzall blades).  Even fried junk converters like mine were worth 100 each.  paid for my new exhaust.
