I was driving a busload of kids home one evening outside of Philadelphia, and I passed by a mechanic’s shop that had a big lit-up sign that said “WE BUY CATALYTIC CONVERTERS”. I’d like to assume it was a honeypot but I have no idea if it was or not.
Same, but my state. It was maybe 6 months after mine was stolen.
(technically, you can still sell them but the rules are strict. One of the ways was if the catalytic converter was attached to a car at the time. I think the other way was just more paperwork.)
Our city made it illegal for scrap dealers to accept catalytic converters, and suddenly theft vanished entirely. Weird.

ETA link to legislation
Yes, this car has 50 catalytic converters attached to it.
I am just super concerned for the environment!
More catalytic converters than George Washington had dicks.
Slaps car. You can fit so many cats in this baby.
