Seattle Humane latest target in spike of catalytic converter thefts [View all]
Seattle Humane took in over a dozen cats from Mississippi on Friday, but it was a rescue mission that almost didn't happen.
"Early morning, on Thursday, March 4, somebody pulled into our parking lot, got out and proceeded to cut and steal the catalytic converters from four of our transport vehicles," said Brandon Macz with Seattle Humane.
Catalytic converters are often stolen in just minutes, according to police. The catalytic converter is part of the exhaust system and every car made after 1974 has one. They're often stolen to sell the precious metals within the converter.
Seattle Humane isn't alone. Law enforcement agencies throughout King County said catalytic converter thefts are becoming a big problem.
