Justin Hokanson Contributing Writer According to a report filed May 9 by Officer Brian Azule of campus security, a catalytic converter was brazenly stolen from a Toyota Pickup in the Barlow parking lot. The incident took place between 5:10 and 5:15 p.m. The unnamed victim reportedly saw a white male in his mid-thirties, approxi mately 5 feet 8 inches tall and 160 pounds, with light brown hair. The man was wearing jeans and a T-shirt, and was standing next to another pickup in the parking lot, looking suspicious. Another white male was working under the victim’s truck. When the two men were spotted, they reportedly jumped into what another wit ness called “a red vehicle that looked like a Dodge Neon” and sped away. The victim started her truck, noticed a loud noise that sounded like it was coming from her exhaust system and looked under her truck to find loose exhaust parts. She then called 911 and notified campus secu rity. The incident is “the only one that we’ve heard of, of its kind, that’s been reported to us,” said Officer Pete Kandratieff. The recent increase in metal prices, along with perceived economic hardship, has prompted a rise in catalytic converter theft. A catalytic converter is a key component of a vehicle’s exhaust system.

The chemical action inside the catalytic converter changes objectionable cl# to carbon dioxide and water vapor. One major problem with catalytj verters is that they are packed with i cious metal platinum. Platinum is a ing metal that is well-known for itsi and durability, but it is also valuabl Stores selling tools such as saws, torches have seen a dramatic boost i Such tools can be used to cut thro front and rear exhaust pipes conne: catalytic converter to other compoi the exhaust system.

The free procedure entails putting weld on the bolts and a bead on thei harden the metal, making it more dif cut through,” he explained.
