Stolen Catcons and Air Pollution
Catalytic converters are constantly being stolen from cars as they are parked. This is because of the pricey metal content of the said auto part. Since the main task of the catalytic converter is to convert the many harmful gases in the exhaust emissions into less harmful ones, cars that have their catalytic converters stolen considerably contribute to air pollution.
According to the police, the ADESA Auto Auction at Highway 33 and Interstate 90-94 were hit over the weekend by thieves that stole a number of catalytic converters from vehicles that are supposed to be part of the auction. This is confirmed by the director of the auction Tom Francois. In his words, “[i]t’s happening all over the place, in Madison too.” Detectives in Madison are doing their best to track the thieves down.
A reporter from the car-fleet industry has already given his opinion regarding the matter. The precious metals found in the catalytic converter’s composition are the primary reason why car fleets are becoming the target for catcon theft. He said that “a thief can slip under a vehicle and, with a battery-operated saw and metal-cutting blade, make two quick cuts and remove the catalytic converter.” On a sadder note, replacing the catcon is expensive, which is why most of the vehicles that have their catalytic converters stolen don’t get to replace them in an instant.
