Catalytic converter thieves keep hitting cars across Utah every day. A new report shows just how bad the problem has become and which vehicles are most targeted in Utah.
SALT LAKE CITY — Catalytic converter thieves keep hitting cars across Utah every day. The exhaust part can be hacked out of a car in minutes and then sold to scrap recyclers for a few hundred dollars. Replacing one can cost a driver a lot more."You can't see under there," Karrie Smith told KSL back in October. She had no idea thieves had hit her Toyota until she tried to start it the next morning.
"We definitely have seen that thieves are very brazen," said Patrick Olsen, an executive editor at Carfax. "Owners of cars who have only liability insurance very often, this kind of theft isn't covered," Olsen said. Instead, Carfax looked at millions of service records.
