But nothing can prepare you for the grinding sound you hear when a certain part is stolen from underneath your vehicle. Today, we talk about catalytic converter thefts. According to data from the National Insurance Crime Bureau, converter thefts have heightened in the last few years across the country, from 1,298 reported thefts in 2018 to 52,206 in 2021.
