No but I think things like that have been going on for a few years. I think it's worth about 100$ I dont remember.

Yup, been going on since metal prices have risen so sharply. I was at a friend's muffler shop and a city truck was in because of this, except the dumb asses cut off a resonator instead of a cat. Where I work had the copper stolen from their AC units 4 times in 6 months.

At my old job people were cutting those off company trucks. It started becoming like roulette because it happened almost every week with different trucks.

Lol, its kinda hard to steal cats if you think about it... Gotta get under there and cut or use a saw-zaw and if you have never used one on exhaust pipe its actually VERY loud.

Unless they just unbolted them... then IDK

They could have used one of those chain type pipe cutters. It doesn't take long at all with one of those, about the same time as a sawzall, maybe faster if I remember right.
