We all need to be diligent so the idiots who are stealing catalytic converters are caught. The # of these thefts cause a sudden loss of the damaged car for the owner…not to mention an expensive repair.
The police need to put 4 or 5 rigged cars with silent alarms in places where they are doing this.
I have seen hundreds of cars in the last two years on reports….with this type of theft.
A police video on this issue to help residents spot the crime happening…raise awareness would be VERY helpful.
And, the judges involved with doling out punishments on this crime should add A year or two to the sentence.
Mr. Burnett’s comments should be strongly considered by Edmonds PD and then acted on. I believe such action will result in a sharp decrease in this criminal act.
I third this opinion. I have 6 vehicles associated with our home near 5th and Dayton. We have a protection shield on one vehicle to stop catalytic converter theft, after seeing these reports I now have to consider welding chains to the converters on my other 5 vehicles or risk being victimized.
I would like to know if the local police feel that *painting* the converter red with high-temp paint and scratching our vehicle ID number would be a deterrent to the theft? That would a lot easier than chaining it to the car.
I only wonder how many arrests result in prolonged incarceration. In other words, Seattle has about 100 people committing crimes repeatedly without prosecution thanks to Pete Holmes, Seattle City Attorney. Is Edmonds suffering a similar fate?
