We spoke to one recent victim of catalytic converter theft, who hopes more programs like these gain traction throughout the city.

"Normally, I like have to travel ad stuff. I've had to call into the head coach and be like: 'Hey, I can't make it in today. I had to deal with all this stuff,'" Sandoval said.

He is talking about the loud noise that now comes out of his car, after his catalytic converter was stolen from Sandoval's car around 4 a.m. in the Pilsen neighborhood.Sandoval said he was fast asleep it when it happened. "I was actually asleep, but a neighbor heard," he said."He awoke about 4:15 a.m. to the sound of like metal grinding."

Sandoval is just one of the latest victims of catalytic converter thefts. Data from State Farm show the insurance company has paid out at least $3.5 million in Illinois claims just through June of this year– numbers the company has never seen before. The Illinois claims figure for all of 2021 was $3.5 million, for 2020 $1.1 million, and for 2019 $650,000."Difficult, frustrating – you know, you want to see more preventative measures as well," Sandoval said.
