It has become the new theft craze in northern California and may be coming to your town soon. These little punks that are out there have decided that our catalytic converters are worth something, who decided that I do not know. I have a 1994 3.0 and I have seen everything from a late 80's T4R have it cut off and heard of as late as a 99 getting cut off. Dont freak out when or if this happens to you, your local toyota dealership will work with you and get factory parts put back on. Yes this is a inconvenience but in the long run you will come out with a brand new factory cat-back system and only cost you $100 or so depending on you deductable. This is very popular in california right now because you cannot find factory toyota cats for cali spec cars as of now, toyota is shipping them over here as quick as they can. P.S. If anyone as any great ways to protect from this occuring again lets hear your ideas.

Catalytic Converter Theft

Yeah, it has platinum, palladium and rhodium in them but but they mainly go for the platinum which coats the ceramic cores i think. Who new I had metal in my Cat worth double that of gold...lol
