Four paratransit buses are the latest vehicles to have their catalytic converters stolen in the Bay Area.
Luis Benitez installs one of four new catalytic converters onto a Chevrolet Silverado at Johnny Franklin's Muffler on July 11, 2022 in San Rafael, California. Thefts of catalytic converters are surging across the nation as thieves seek out precious metals like platinum, palladium and rhodium that fill the inside of the antipollution car part. Thefts have nearly tripled since the beginning of the pandemic with over 50,000 in 2021 compared to under 20,000 in 2020.
The buses were parked at a yard in Vallejo at 1850 Broadway, and surveillance video showed two people removing the converters, Renshaw said. The new catalytic converters and repairs are costing the public agency just over $10,000 —"money that could be used in many other productive ways," Renshaw said.
