According to police statistics, thefts of catalytic converters and particulate filters have multiplied considerably in the last two years, and the figures are expected to continue rising in the future.

Initially, the catalytic converter is that integral part of the exhaust pipe that modifies the emissions of gases from our car in order to reduce their harmful effects. However, it also contains platinum, palladium, and rhodium, making it the primary target for vehicle parts theft. Therefore, many insurance companies do not cover its replacement, especially in those models where such parts even exceed the book value of the vehicle.

The replacement cost of the device easily exceeds €3,000 in vans and €1,000 in cars, as the thief breaks ancillary parts, damages wiring, and moreover, the vehicle may be inactive for several days or more.
