FYI, the following article was in this morning's The Province paper:
Vancouver police report a sharp rise in thefts of catalytic converters — exhaust emission-control devices, pictured above — that convert toxic chemicals into less noxious substances from vehicles.
More than 16 catalytic-converter thefts have been committed in the city from Feb. 10 to 21. Most of the vehicles targeted are Toyota 4Runners, but Mercedes Sprinter vans have also been hit. Thefts involve suspects crawling underneath the vehicles, then sawing and cutting off both ends of the catalytic converter, likely with a reciprocating saw.
