The price of these metals rise and fall like share prices and have risen sharply in recent years, as a result this has led to an increase in the theft of catalytic convertors. Cars that are most often targeted are older Toyota and Honda motor vehicles as well as some hybrid vehicles, as these vehicles have two power sources, so the catalytic converter is used less frequently. The metals are less likely to corrode, meaning they can be worth more and therefore more attractive to thieves.
