The Toyota Prius is the top target for catalytic converter thieves in the West, but a new list from Carfax tells us what other cars are tempting targets.
Catalytic converter thefts skyrocketed across the country during the pandemic, increasing more than 325% over a single year, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau. Such thefts jumped due to the increasing value of the precious metals in catalytic converters, with thieves making up to $300 for a standard catalytic converter. A catalytic converter stolen from a hybrid vehicle can sell up to $1,400 because they use more of those precious metals.
Meanwhile, drivers who discover their catalytic converters can pay between $1,000 to $3,000 out of pocket to repair their vehicles. If parking in a garage is not possible, vehicle owners should try to park in well-lit areas and be aware of the areas where they have parked. Vehicle owners should also consider installing an anti-theft device or get their converter etched with the vehicle's VIN.Thanks for reading CBS NEWS.Please enter valid email address to continue
