Not all the junk yards are involved. I own a junkyard and have had many stolen from thieves jumping the fences at night. I would also not buy them if someone walked in to sell one removed from a car. I would buy the junk car for a fair price complete from the person selling the whole junk car. Then I am allowed to remove the catalytic convertor and sell it to a recycled. That’s the honest way to make money. All the junk.yards are not involved and what’s the old saying there is always a few bad apples in the basket. I have had many stolen from me and good job to the police department for brining these guys off the street and they are due their punishment. Can’t stop with 3 there are thousands more people out there. I am also in favor of a law to document someone selling a catalytic convertor so this crime can put put to a end.
Well done.
REGARDING:
“Time to start taking off the thieves hands.”
Nah. The hand is just a tool the brain uses just like a gun doesn’t shoot by itself. I’m not gonna say lop off any heads, but that’s where the problem lies. No need to be cruel.
@Deborah Daugherty, No! They use something like a Sawzall or hacksaw. It doesn’t take long at all. Time to start taking off the thieves hands
Go after junk yards that buy them.
Good, they finally caught them. Lock them up and make them pay the people they stole from back.
Don’t they have to use a welder to remove them from a vehicle???
GOOD!
