Catalytic converter theft is on the rise in the Phoenix area. This is a particular problem for SUVs and Trucks as the catalytic converters are easily accessed and can be removed in about 5-10 minutes. Crooks are ripping off the car part and making money on the precious metals in them, most notably platinum. Thieves can make anywhere from $100 to $300 for about 5 minutes worth of effort, but it takes as much as $1,000 to replace. Watch the clip to become aware and become informed.
