Thieves were trying to steal a catalytic converter from the underside of the Honda Accord parked outside the family’s home in the Maxwell Park neighborhood, the Associated Press reported. “I was like ‘Mom, it’s not that bad.’ It hurts a little bit, not that much.”AdvertisementThe incident was part of a rash of catalytic converter thefts in California. Car owners whose catalytic converters are stolen usually hear a loud roar when they turn on the engine. The insurance crime bureau also suggests engraving your VIN on your car’s catalytic converter, and installing an alarm system.
