Angry Cat Theft

If you still have a cat be on the look for thieves. Made the news in small town about thieves thieving them locally. Owner beware. Just thought i would pass it along.

Chicago and surrounding areas are having the same problem. Thought they're on gas outfits, getting a lot of money for them.

We have that problem up here in Canada to, people have been stealing them from new car lots. The reason is depending on the type like which car/truck it came off of is because Catalytic Converters can be worth a whole lot of money, if you sell it to the right person that knows the pricing on cats. Some ranging from $30.00 to $150.00. It is because of the precious metal inside. So don't toss them away take it to the metal srcap company in your area and get that money.

Ufortunately, they don't care what they mess up removing it. They use cordless sawsall and are quick and dirty. Fortunately, I don't have one.
