Just when you thought you’ve heard it all, something else comes along. Thieves are stealing catalytic converters off parked cars at an increasing rate. This is a trend that is happening all over the country and has recently found its way to El Segundo and other surrounding South Bay communities.
Chances are most vehicle owners don’t even know that they have a catalytic converter. But scrap metal thieves do. This device, mounted beneath your vehicle, helps control emissions as part of the exhaust system.
