The financial hardship that has accompanied COVID-19 is one of the primary reasons for this surge.

For example, in Wichita, Kansas, thieves swiped more than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kake.com\/story\/43088658\/crime-stoppers-raise-incentives-for-catalytic-converter-thefts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"500 catalytic converters in 2020\">500 catalytic converters in 2020<\/a>. That&rsquo;s nearly double the 200 thefts the city recorded in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although no vehicle is safe from catalytic converter theft, some are targeted more than others. Is your car one of the models that crooks go after the most?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Cars are Targeted for Catalytic Converter Theft the Most?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"CCTV Catches Catalytic Theft From Toyota Prius In Broad Day Light\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dVKFNhuEkN8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Your car&rsquo;s catalytic converter (also known as a &ldquo;cat&rdquo;) is an emissions control device located in the exhaust system, between the engine and the muffler. Dangerous exhaust gases from the engine enter the catalytic converter, where they are turned into harmless water and carbon dioxide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All catalytic converters contain valuable, precious metals that thieves want to get their hands on. But criminals go after the converters on some vehicles more than others. The cars catalytic converter thieves target the most include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Toyota Prius<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/toyota\/prius\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Toyota Prius\">Toyota Prius<\/a> is the most recognizable hybrid on the road&mdash;and that&rsquo;s why it&rsquo;s one of the vehicles catalytic converter thieves target the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because the gasoline-powered engine in the Prius (and most other hybrids) doesn&rsquo;t run all of the time, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/catalytic-converter\/toyota\/prius\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"catalytic converter\">catalytic converter<\/a> doesn&rsquo;t have to work as hard. As a result, the converter is more likely to stay in better condition longer, thereby retaining more of its precious metals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/prius-toyota-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"prius toyota\" class=\"wp-image-21716\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/prius-toyota-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/prius-toyota-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/prius-toyota-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/prius-toyota-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/prius-toyota-scaled.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/prius-toyota-600x400.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/prius-toyota-150x100.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Toyota Prius is the most recognizable hybrid on the road&mdash;and that&rsquo;s why it&rsquo;s one of the vehicles catalytic converter thieves target the most.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Criminals are well-aware that the Toyota Prius is more likely to have a converter that&rsquo;s still in good condition. That&rsquo;s why they target these vehicles more than any other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One Prius owner and converter theft victim shared their story with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mercurynews.com\/2020\/01\/30\/prius-catalytic-converters-attracting-thieves-roadshow\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"The Mercury News\">The Mercury News<\/a>: &ldquo;Recently, people warned on Nextdoor that someone in my neighborhood in Oakland was stealing catalytic converters from Prii (evidently they are easy to take from certain Prius models). Within a couple of days, mine was stolen, as well (I didn&rsquo;t get the $350 protective cover from a muffler repair shop in time). I went on Nextdoor and found someone up the street had been hit as well that same night.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other Hybrid Vehicles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many thieves are savvy enough that they can spot hybrids other than the Toyota Prius. As such, other hybrid models are also common targets of catalytic converter theft. For example, in Europe, converter thieves often go after hybrid versions of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thisismoney.co.uk\/money\/cars\/article-8935001\/The-cars-targeted-catalytic-converter-thieves.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"Honda Jazz, Lexis RX, and Toyota Auris\">Honda Jazz, Lexis RX, and Toyota Auris<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"rsi-card\">\n  <div class=\"rsi-thumb\">\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cld.partsimg.com\/d_noimage.jpg\/b_white\/e_sharpen,e_auto_brightness,e_auto_contrast\/f_auto\/q_auto:eco,dpr_auto\/w_873,h_873,c_pad\/images\/repg960301_2\">\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"rsi-info\">\n    <span class=\"rsi-title\">Recommended Catalytic Converters<\/span>\n    <span class=\"rsi-desc\">Find out which brands of catalytic converters are the best on the market.

Because these vehicles have such a high ride height, crooks don&rsquo;t even need to use a jack to get underneath. Instead, all they have to do is slide beneath the truck and cut the converter off with a hacksaw or power tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means full-sized trucks and SUVs with high ground clearance, such as the Chevrolet Silverado, Ford F-Series, and Honda CR-V, are at greater risk for catalytic converter theft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Do People Steal Catalytic Converters?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The answer to why crooks steal catalytic converters is simple&mdash;cats are worth a lot of money. <strong>Each device can be traded into a scrap metal recycler for as much as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mercurynews.com\/2020\/01\/30\/prius-catalytic-converters-attracting-thieves-roadshow\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"$500\">$500<\/a>.<\/strong> Cats are valuable because they contain precious metals, as we&rsquo;ll discuss below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the right power tools, experienced thieves can remove catalytic converters within minutes. Most cats aren&rsquo;t trackable, which makes them all the more attractive to thieves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&rsquo;s Inside a Catalytic Converter That Thieves Want?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Rather than stealing platinum cars, thieves are much more inclined to steal catalytic converters. <strong>Catalytic converters contain the precious metals rhodium, palladium, and platinum. <\/strong>Together, these elements act as a catalyst&mdash;a chemical that starts a reaction without undergoing any change itself. It&rsquo;s this catalyst effect that transforms pollutants from the car&rsquo;s engine into harmless carbon dioxide and water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Cut-muffler-car-with-a-platinum-catalyst-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Cut muffler car with a platinum catalyst\" class=\"wp-image-21721\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Cut-muffler-car-with-a-platinum-catalyst-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Cut-muffler-car-with-a-platinum-catalyst-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Cut-muffler-car-with-a-platinum-catalyst-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Cut-muffler-car-with-a-platinum-catalyst-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Cut-muffler-car-with-a-platinum-catalyst-scaled.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Cut-muffler-car-with-a-platinum-catalyst-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Cut-muffler-car-with-a-platinum-catalyst-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Catalytic converters contain the precious metals rhodium, palladium, and platinum.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, thieves don&rsquo;t care how a catalytic converter works; they just know the precious metals inside are worth a lot of money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In fact, Rhodium&mdash;one of the key elements found inside catalytic converters&mdash;is currently worth approximately ten times more than gold.<\/strong> At the time of this writing, Rhodium is worth around $30,000 over $19,000 per ounce, whereas gold is worth a little less than $1,900 per ounce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Prevent Catalytic Converter Theft<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best ways to safeguard your catalytic converter is with a dedicated protection device, such as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/catalytic-converter-security-shield\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"catalytic converter security shield\">catalytic converter security shield<\/a> from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/cat-security\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Cat Security&trade;\">Cat Security&trade;<\/a>. The brand&rsquo;s shields, which are made from lightweight, corrosion-resistant metals, are specifically designed for each vehicle application to cover your catalytic converter and deter thieves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Cat-Security-Social-Launch-Image-2-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Cat Security Social Launch Image 2\" class=\"wp-image-73826\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Cat-Security-Social-Launch-Image-2-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Cat-Security-Social-Launch-Image-2-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Cat-Security-Social-Launch-Image-2-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Cat-Security-Social-Launch-Image-2-150x188.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Cat-Security-Social-Launch-Image-2.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">One of the best ways to safeguard your catalytic converter is with a dedicated protection device, such as a catalytic converter security shield from Cat Security&trade;.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also take some simple precautions to help deter catalytic converter thieves. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.elkgrovepd.org\/community\/community_programs\/catalytic_converter_theft_prevention\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"Elk Grove, CA, Police Department\">Elk Grove, CA, Police Department<\/a> recommends that you do the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Park in a well-lit, highly visible area (near security cameras when possible).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Park high-riding vehicles (i.e., trucks and SUVs) near low-profile cars. Doing so will make it difficult to access the cat on the taller vehicle.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Etch your vehicle&rsquo;s license plate number or VIN number into the converter. This will make it easier to trace the cat if it&rsquo;s stolen.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Invest in catalytic converter shields and anti-theft devices, such as CatStrap and CatClamp.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s also worth noting that you should park your car in the garage whenever possible. An enclosed parking place is an effective defense against cat theft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Catalytic Converter Theft Something You Should Be Worried About?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Catalytic converters aren&rsquo;t cheap&mdash;it can cost anywhere from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mercurynews.com\/2020\/01\/30\/prius-catalytic-converters-attracting-thieves-roadshow\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"$3,000 to $5,000\">$3,000 to $5,000<\/a> to have a shop replace the catalytic converter on a Toyota Prius. In other words: Having your car&rsquo;s catalytic converter stolen can be a significant financial burden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But converter theft seems to happen far more often in major cities than in rural areas. So, check with friends and family to see whether they&rsquo;ve heard about cat theft being a problem in your area. You may also want to check local news outlets and (if you have one) a neighborhood watch app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Legislative Efforts Against Catalytic Converter Theft<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are over 100 state bills currently in progress to combat cat theft, but the interstate nature of the crime makes it difficult to pass each one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Preventing Auto Recycling Theft (PART) Act is a bipartisan law that aims to protect car owners against catalytic converter theft. It imposes a federal penalty of up to five years in prison for the theft, sale, and trafficking of stolen cats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Should You Do if Your Catalytic Converter Gets Stolen?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing you need to do when your cat gets hijacked is to file a police report. You should also contact your insurance company to see if your policy covers catalytic converter theft. In many cases, comprehensive coverage will give you some degree of financial security against cat theft. Of course, you&rsquo;ll want to keep in mind that the cost of the coverage and the deductible could add up to be more than that of a replacement cat.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After speaking to law enforcement and your insurance carrier, you should make arrangements to replace the converter right away.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CarParts.com has an extensive selection of replacement <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/catalytic-converter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"catalytic converters\">catalytic converters<\/a> built to meet the most stringent emissions standards. Best of all, our converters cost far less than those from a retail store or dealership (note: shipping to CA, CO, NY, and ME is unavailable).
