Preventing Catalytic Converter Theft

Recently there has been an ongoing trend of catalytic converter theft. The National Automotive Dealers Association issued a report in January of 2023 describing catalytic converter theft as “skyrocketing,” with the reported number of thefts reported to the National Insurance Crime Bureau surging by 1,215% between 2019 and 2022.

There are many challenges that businesses face trying to battle theft. Some allow after hours visits to lots and are often in high traffic areas, which pick up large amounts of movement on their current security systems.
