Thefts of Catalytic Converters are Getting Out of Control - Congress trying to fix it

A treasure chest of valuable metals that sits underneath every car has sparked a rash of thefts. Now legislators in Washington and statehouses are fighting back.

Thefts of catalytic converters — an antipollution car part laden with platinum, palladium and rhodium — have exploded since the pandemic began, fueled by a surge in the value of those metals. Thieves made off with 12 times as many catalytic converters, which sit exposed underneath most cars, in 2021 as they did in 2019, according to data from the National Insurance Crime Bureau, an organization that tracks these thefts.

More than three dozen states have introduced legislation to combat catalytic converter theft, according to NICB’s converter theft legislation tracker, with 20 states enacting the bills into law.
