A non-profit organization in Alberta that relies on its vehicle for remote spay and neuter clinics has been targeted by thieves: the culprits ripped off the catalytic converter from underneath the truck.
A converter is a large device attached to a vehicle’s exhaust system. The converter contains precious metals: platinum, palladium, and rhodium can be processed out of the catalytic converters and sold to buyers.
