These people come by my dad's shop all the time, busting his balls for old cats and any other scrap. They don't take aftermarket cats and they pay on a scale for oem cats. They usually have a palm pilot, and if you tell them what cat you have, they'll look up how much they'll give you for it on the palm.
For instance, one of them showed up when I was replacing my miata's cat with a test pipe. He bought an old cat from my dad, don't remember what it was, but it was $50. So I asked him to buy my cat too, and after he looked it up he told me $10. I would suspect that some of these larger-sized, older cats (like what was in Loki's runner) have a high platinum content. And the theives know that. Plus, an SUV is easy to crawl under. |

It's popular around here too. Damn Meth heads steal anything metal really, Road signs, road barriers, parts of buildings to get some cash for Meth.

We had the cats stolen off all the cars in our parking lot before. They brought jacks and a torch, cut them all off. I am talking about 30-40 cars. We don't leave any cars outside at night for that reason.

people make lots of money off old cats, for the platinum content,they usually pay from 30 to 50$ for old cats

Saw another show about the tent city prison in Arizona. The prisoners were getting a ton of extra time tacked on their sentence for smuggling a few cigs worth of tobaco in there. What a bunch of dumb asses... |
