Someone stole my catalytic converter

[prae]

are people able to claim these on their auto insurance? wouldn't you be subject to a deductible? Almost doesn't seem worth it.

Should be the same as any comprehensive claim. Some people have low deductibles for those.

buddy of mine had his stolen, took the payout (3000) and kept the car.

Classic and often the correct move.

Was that the cost to get a new cat or what the insurance company valued the car at?

What I want to know is how big is the catalytic converters grey market that these guys keep being able to fence the things.

They'll take every cat they can get, so the answer is demand far outstrips supply. Hence what you are seeing.

Got $400 cash for my DPF and precat off a 2008 duramax. They took my licence, but its not like the things are stamped.

No different then how pawn shops operate, effectively stolen goods washing operations to make them clean.

And with trucks, its so easy, especially anything lifted. I wouldn't bother targeting cars or CUV's, trucks all the way.

Honda cats are worth big bucks. I've been selling them some of them for 800-1100

Rather than sawing it off, however, the thief tied the entire exhaust system to their own vehicle, yanking the catalytic converter off with them in a brazen incident captured by a neighbour’s security camera.

Guess sawzall blades got expensive
