Hang on to your catalytic converters

Two catalytic converters were stolen on Centre Point Drive last week, as noted in this week’s West Chester police reports. But while editing reports for other newspapers, I saw reports of more catalytic converter thefts in Fairfield. Both of those were on different days in the Mercy Hospital parking lot. Obviously there isn’t a lot you can do to protect these car parts. They are being stolen from vehicles that likely are higher off the ground. We’ll be checking with area police and with the hospital to see if any extra eyes are looking for these thieves.

I found this website with good answers as to why thieves want these parts. They’re worth a little cash, obviously. Check out the reasons and how they do it.
