Catalytic Converter Stolen!

Hey guys, just a heads-up/reminder that when the unemployment rate goes up, so does crime.

The catalytic converter off my pickup was stolen this week and I am pissed.

Yep I been hearing alot of stories about that lately on the news channels.

I was going to say the G is pretty low from factory for them to get underneath it.

It's happened to a few people I know. Mainly Toyota 4-Runners and Tacomas.

A recycling center should give you a couple hundred bucks for each.

Check your local recycling places on whether or not they will give you cash for them. Rates depend on how much precious metal they can get from them and the current going rate.

I was going to recycle mine a couple months ago, but platinum prices at the time were low so I just held on to mine just in case I decided to part out the car.

My 4Runner's cats got stolen a while back... too lazy to replace them so the Runner just sits in the front yard, cat-less.
