Hang on to your catalytic converters
Two catalytic converters were stolen on Centre Point Drive last week, as noted in this week’s West Chester police reports. But while editing reports for other newspapers, I saw reports of more catalytic converter thefts in Fairfield. Both of those were on different days in the Mercy Hospital parking lot. Obviously there isn’t a lot you can do to protect these car parts. They are being stolen from vehicles that likely are higher off the ground. We’ll be checking with area police and with the hospital to see if any extra eyes are looking for these thieves.
I found this website with good answers as to why thieves want these parts. They’re worth a little cash, obviously. Check out the reasons and how they do it.

Old news from three years ago. And your link doesn’t work. Maybe someone should edit your work too.

Generally I do not post on articles, but I would like to say that this blog really forced me to do so! Thanks, really nice blog.

Hamilton High has been experiencing this kind of theft in the students parking areas. Yet not unlike the rash of car stereo thefts and vandalism, they’ve done little about it. They charge students a parking fee but don’t afford any kind of protection other than cameras which the thieves have already figured a way around or simply don’t care about. What is really twisted about this is that the school has hired people to check on student whereabouts, ( which as I am told even goes so far as to have these hirees go even to Mcdonalds to check on them) yet no one can monitor the parking lots. On that note, why are these extra hirees even needed? I thought it was the Principals and teachers that were supposed to keep track of students!

Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any experience that reveals the human spirit.
