I was hipped to this new "U-haul " get away idea that thieves are using as a way to hold stolen items and to hide without looking like their doing something wrong.
 
nah.....its not the converters they want.......its the metals inside them (platinum, palladium, rhodium, cerium, manganese, and nickel)
this is probably the only car part, where a used one is worth 10 times more than a brand new one.
Right but I thought they would have cracked down on all the scrap metal yards in the US by now. Who's melting down the metal?

Shit it’s big money in that

a dude round my way got caught but/selling them

shid he’s still doing it

the old dodge caravans sometimes have those $350 worth converters on them

i cut one of a car I was junking
it was only worth $5
 
I remember when headlights were the game, I think those new expensive halogens when they first came out..... Bodyshop I worked at part time had cars parked in its lot facing the street.... it was on a corner.... bold mofos stopped at the red light..... got out and finagled with them and pulled off as the light turned green.... fast as hell... he saw it when he reviewed his security camera footage

Can't have shit! :smh:

Several years ago I had a MF come onto my porch at 4am and steal my flowers/flowerpots. Trifling MF!
:hmm:
My next-door neighbor tried to copy me with flowerpots everywhere...... I zip tied each one to the rails going down my steps, had one on each side of my steps..... he put a big 10-gallon ornamental flowerpot at the top of his steps.... shit was gone by the second morning
:lol:

Reminds me of the old days on the Cross Bronx.

Man, if you left your car on the side, the homies pulled up with the van with two or more compressors in it and air tools and got to work.
You'd be lucky if you had a frame when you came back.
 
Here in the DMV, the police had programs were they would engrave your converter. Supposedly, converters that were engraved (forgot what they would write) makes them unsellable if stolen.

Has anyone tried this?
