Default New Bedford Business Park Cat. Converter Theft

My coworker started his truck when leaving work today and found out he had his catalytic converter cut out sometime this afternoon. Just wondering if anybody else works in the New Bedford business park or knows somebody who does that also had their car vandalized. No video until tomorrow when the day security comes in but hopefully there will be enough to identify the person.

People are freaking douche bags I tell ya...

That was big on 5th ave in Waltham too. Police said not to park SUVs near the street.

I was shocked that it happened during broad daylight, in a parking lot with cameras covering most of it. Do Tacomas have extra precious catalytic converters? That is what my coworker has too.

Turns out hybrid converters are in demand because there is less corrosion so they sell for more. Pickups because they dont have to jack them up.

We just bought a used Prius V and may buy a guard. About $350 installed.
