My Safeway driver told me last week that a week before that all their trucks had catalytic-converters stolen in the middle of the night by what looked like a white car. This was somewhere in more north east Seattle. Seems like a big problem across the board which makes me wonder why they haven’t figured yet who is buying them all and to what end.

I mean, they have figured it out. A catalytic converter functions because it contains a few grams of platinum or palladium or rhodium, all of which are metals that sell for hundreds of dollars per ounce. Catalytic converter theft is now a nationwide problem, and the buyers of stolen converters are lurking nearby in plain sight. Police departments (SPD is certainly not alone here) seem to have little interest in cracking down on this market.
